What make tens-machine?

[Tiggy26]

Hello,

I was just wondering what make of tens-machine everyone used & if you thought it was worthwhile having one?

Also, i dont know if i should buy or hire? If a hire one, most of them only give you 30 days hire at a cost of £25-£30 What's to say the baby comes early or late and the timing is way out? If that were the case id have to re-hire it again costing in total £50-£60 Well....ive seen them for sale for that price so ive been thinking I should just buy one & keep it for the next baby (planning on more)

What are your thought ladies?

Might be worth speaking to your MW at your next check as often your hospital will hire you out an obstetric one cheaply

I went to a birthing class on saturday and they said any brand is fine as long as it has a boost button and it is the one designed for pregnancy and not just back problems (the ones for pregnancy/labour have 4 pads)

I hired mine for 30 days for £15 (+£15 deposit in cheque form ut it didnt get cashed) from the hospitals maternity unit.

I wouldnt worry about going over or under the 30 days, the chances are you will give birth within that 30 day period

EDIT to add: I dont remember the brand
