Libby shares her birth story...

My son Jay was born on Tuesday the 27th of March this year. He is my first child and the birth was only 7 and a half hours long (5 and a half of which were spent at home thanks to the TENS machine)!

I may have been in early labour for a few days because I woke at 1230 midnight and my waters broke. Within 15 mins I was having 45-second contractions every four minutes and they kept on coming on stronger and stronger.

I got my husband to attach the TENS machine at 2.30am and at first, I was not sure if it was helping so I took it off. OH BOY WAS IT HELPING!!

I stayed at home until 5.30am with the TENS machine. At this point, the contractions were coming a minute on, a minute off and they were sore!

We called the midwife and headed to the hospital where I was fully dilated and within half an hour I was beginning to push. From that point on I had no pain relief.

My son was born 1.5 hours later and it was an amazing feeling to have laboured with minimal pain relief and in a relatively relaxed frame of mind. The TENS machine helped me to stay at home for the majority of the labour which, I believe, brought my son to me so quickly.

I recommend this product to all my friends who are about to give birth!

Thanks heaps for making it so easy to rent.
