One of the most unforgettable milestones in a couple’s life is the birth of a child. Labour (childbirth) is a highly emotional event that involves both physiological and psychological components. Each woman’s experience of labour agony is distinct during childbirth. The size and location of the baby, the progress of the delivery, and the amount of pain tolerance are all elements that determine how one experiences childbirth. Although some women can cope with maternity with only breathing and relaxation techniques, pain meds, or epidural analgesia, others require pain drugs or epidural analgesia. The way a woman experiences childbirth is influenced by how well she manages her labour pain. TENS machines help mothers to be happy and healthy during their pregnancy. Using TENS unit for labour is becoming more common among pregnant women worldwide.
Our ELLE TENS machine is for any pregnant woman who isn’t bothered by choices and prefers to be in command. TENS- transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is a method of pain relief involving the use of a mild electric current. ELLE TENS offers a variety of efficient choices for relieving labour pain while remaining simple and unobtrusive. The ELLE TENS has all you need and more. ELLE TENS is a pain-relieving technique that uses a low electrical current.
Similar to other TENS machines, this one also has two main controls: a ‘burst’ mode for in-between contractions and a ‘boost’ mode for during a contraction. When labour commences one is recommended to start with the burst 1 and boost 1 option, tailored to those first-stage contractions, encouraging your body to produce its natural pain-killing chemicals called Endorphins and Enkephalins. Endorphins are chemicals produced naturally by the neuromuscular system to cope with pain and stress. They are called feel-good chemicals because they act as pain relievers and happiness boosters. Enkephalins are small peptides that can serve as a neurotransmitter in the brain, it is a pentapeptides. When things get more intense one can shift to the burst 2 and boost 2 option.
Unlike other TENS machines, however, the Elle TENS machine has a unique feature called Opti-Max, which provides greater power for those more tough times at the end of labour. As a result of its higher power range and Opti-Max technology, it’s ideal for the first birth, which is frequently more gradual and lengthier than subsequent births, or for someone who is aware of a low pain threshold. Pre-set modes, a neck chord for mobility, and a rotating belt clip are among the other features. It comes with two disposable pad electrodes for each channel. It is also non-invasive and delivers drug-free labour. ELLE TENS reduces labour pain by up to 80% without the need of drugs. Opti- Max technology makes this product different to any other maternity TENS in the market.
The length of time between contractions is crucial ELLE TENS provides drug-free pain relief during labour, postpartum, and the early stages of labour, allowing mothers to enjoy a more comfortable birth. TENS, or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, is a wonderful equipment for relieving pain in a mother’s earliest weeks of pregnancy with minimal time and no adverse effects. When going into labour, contraction is one of the most crucial pieces of knowledge to have. Many first-time mothers arrive at the hospital before their labour has begun, and they are commonly advised to return later. You are in established labour when your cervix has dilated to more than 3 cm and you are having continuous contractions.
Most expectant mothers prioritize reducing pain during childbirth. However, due to the restricted options for pain management, some pregnant women prefer a more natural approach that avoids the use of medicines. That’s why some expectant parents are concerned about the safety and efficacy of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. Babycare ELLE TENS prevents pain signals from reaching the brain. Here endorphins and enkephalins both are produced by the body to ease labour pain effectively. TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) is a drug-free, natural pain treatment approach during labour. ELLE TENS is the world’s first award-winning maternity TENS device with Opti-Max technology, which provides an extra burst of pain relief power when moms-to-be need it the most. Some folks prefer TENS to painkillers. TENS is a drug-free pain treatment machine that can be used to alleviate labour discomfort during the last few weeks of pregnancy, the postpartum period, or the days leading up to delivery.
Research trials looking at the effectiveness of TENS machines have so far been inconclusive. Further large studies are needed to clarify the precise role and effect of using TENS. However, TENS machines have proved to be a popular form of pain relief for some people. As with many forms of treatment, the effect can vary from individual to individual, even with the same condition. TENS is the award-winning maternity dedicated TENS device that features Opti-Max technology which provides that extra burst of pain relief power when moms-to-be need it most. The electrical pulses from a TENS machine prevent pain signals from reaching the brain. Opti-Max technology gives an extra surge of power when moms need it, especially in the final stages of labour.
The Elle TENS 2 and Elle TENS Plus are ideal for managing different stages of labour at home, removing the stress of having to go to the hospital before you’re fully dilated. They not only have a built-in contraction timer but also keep track of the last 5 contractions and the time between contractions. This is useful information to give to your healthcare provider, who will conduct the examination. Labour may have started if you are experiencing regular, uncomfortable contractions that feel stronger and last longer than 30 seconds. Your contractions will become longer, stronger, and more frequent as labour proceeds. Depending on the level of discomfort, the intensity of the pulses can be increased or lowered. TENS uses electrical pulses that are tiny and harmless, which provide an extra surge of power for moms when needed, especially in the final stage of labour.
Electrical – TENS machines deliver small electrical pulses to the body via electrodes placed on the skin. There are two ways that TENS machines are thought to work. The electrode TENS machine is placed in the body by placing the pad on the back side of the body and two electrode pads on either side of the spine, with the tops of the pads at bra strap level. Place the other two lower down, just above the bottom, at the level of the dimples on the lower back, and then start the machine with the controls at the lowest setting. As the contractions become stronger and the back discomfort worsens, gradually increase the volume. The electrical impulses generated by the TENS machine interfere with and block pain messages given to the brain at a high pulse rate of 90 – 130 Hz (the standard technique of use) are sent to the brain. The gate control hypothesis of pain explains this. This suggests that the brain and spinal cord nerves have a gate mechanism (the central nervous system). When the gate is open, pain signals reach the brain and we experience pain. These pain messages are blocked when the gate is closed, and we do not experience pain. TENS units are considered to close the gate by stimulating non-pain-carrying nerves. In effect, the brain is preoccupied with the messages received swiftly from the TENS unit, rather than the delayed (and more unpleasant) pain signals received from other sources. It explains why, if you damage yourself, touching the affected area can relieve pain briefly.
The Elle TENS Plus is portable, easy-to-use, and highly versatile TENS device. All settings are pre-set, allowing mums to feel comfortable and in control.
Here comes the ELLE TENS 2 which is a powerful, pain-free and simple-to-use delivery machine with a contraction timer.
