Hello Ladies
I am due DD2 on the 12th September.
I didn't cope well with my early contractions with DD1, I can remember being in tears the pain hurt so much. Soon after getting to hospital I had an epidural as was trying to push at 4cm and making down there so bruised (I had a EMCS eventually)
I am hoping for a VBAC this time, and was wondering if a tens machine will help me cope with those early contractions at home before going to hospital.
If I go to hospital too soon its likely I could end up with another EMCS which I'd like to avoid as I have a 2 year old at home and recovery will take longer.
So my question is, those who used a TENS, did it help?
