I got one for my birthday, about as cheap to buy as to rent them, but never got to use it due to an emergency C-section!

But it is great on sore muscles anyway

I was toying with whether to get one or not. Are they really all that great people say they are?

I am in two minds.. but if I do.. will probably get one off ebay. But I want a water birth so wont be able to use it after I am after 5cm dialated when I get in the pool.. that if they have one available.. probably not knowing my luck! lol

That's great, much cheaper than mothercare and boots. What's the website if you don't mind me asking?

I believe that not all tens are suitable for labor, I'm worried to get one that might not be apropriate
