OM Blue Earings ... I just wanted to pipe in!! I have not heard about a TENS machine, so I googled it and read "electrical impulse" and just had to shut the darn internet off!!! Do it really work?? Electricution while in labour?? *shiver* I'm one of those who it will not work for ... I will have my baby in the waiting area out of fear of them having to put something that is going to SHOCK me on me!! I have and will not experiance labour, but surely there must be better "pain" control methonds than electricity!!! Ok, electric impluses ...but it still does not take the picture in my head away of my little toe in an electic outlet!! "push hunny, push"

Sorry - I'm being neurotic. Am interessted in how exactly it's helpfull though?
