TENS hire: Pain Relief During Your Delivery
We want to support you as best as possible during your labour. That’s why we offer the option to hire a TENS machine, a valuable extra service to help relieve pain naturally during labour.
What is a TENS machine?
TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. It’s a small, portable device that attaches to your skin with electrodes. By sending gentle electrical pulses, it stimulates the nerves, helping to block pain signals to the brain. Many women find TENS to be an effective way to manage pain during labour without needing medication.
Why hire a TENS machine from us?
Hiring a TENS machine from Geboortecentrum Zaanstad is easy. You can reserve one for your delivery period, so it’s ready at home when your labour begins! One of the benefits of hiring from us is that we can give you on-the-spot instructions on how to best use the machine, so you’re fully prepared. Even during labour, our midwive can assist you with setting up and using the TENS.
How does it work?
Interested in hiring a TENS machine? Contact our assistant or ask about it at one of your midwife appointments. We’ll make sure the machine is ready for you as your due date approaches, so you can focus entirely on your labour.
