A TENS machine might sound like a complete mystery, but many women find them a huge help with pain relief during labour. The machine gives out little electrical pulses through wires which are connected to sticky pads attached to your body. It's believed that these pulses stimulate your body to release endorphins and stop the pain signals reaching your brain. Who knows... but it's got to be worth a try. Be sure to buy or hire in advance so you know how to operate it and can use it in the early stages of labour.
