Beautiful Birth Story from Keeley...💜
I want to share my birth story and how using your TENS machine helped me through my labour with my second baby. With my first I wanted to have a water birth but ended up in hospital as she came 4 weeks early.

I truly believe our bodies are so capable of...

Second time around...Mel's birth story
After my labour with my first son, I found that the pain medicine I chose on the day (gas), made me very sick and dizzy and when it came to the birth of my son I was so 'out of it' from the gas that I felt like I missed so many special and important parts. This time around with my second son, I was determined to find some other form of pain medication where I could be fully in the moment and be aware of what was happening.
