For those of you who were thinking of hiring a Tens machine for the first stages of labour - I just found a little bargain on the Boots website. They have one on special offer reduced from £50 to £25. They are £30 to hire for 6 weeks, so you can buy one and keep it for less (got to pay £3.50 for delivery but still cheaper)!! Plus you get the points on your advantage card. Sound like I work for them don't I?!
