Pain relief during labour

[Dedicated Doula Gillian]

The midwife I trained with in South Africa said she would rather use a TENS machine because you can control the intensity and turn it on and off as you feel you need it... but with injections once you have been given it, if you get sore or it feels odd or uncomfortable you have to wait for it to wear-off. But with injections you can also use birthing pool so --- obviously TENS and birth pool don't mix...
