Hi Leckert, FWIW I've booked a TENS machine for my labor. I can understand your DH being a little sceptical about the effectiveness of it, TBH I am. But I also would like to avoid using anything other than gas during my labor so figure it can't hurt to give it a go. And, it's only costing my $80 to hire it, so if I don't like it or don't use it all the way through I'm hardly going to be upset about the money I spent on it.

The people I know who have used it have mixed reviews. But the ones who are most negative about it seem to have waited too long to put it on (you need to start using it at the very beginning of labor when the contractions aren't painful so the endorphins have time to build up in your system).

Whatever you decide, good luck for your labor.
