MamaTens works with you
The pain suffered during birth might start with the first contraction or when the cervix starts to dilate. The pain then increases progressively until the cervix is completely dilated.
During this period you will experience pain of different types and intensities but due to the innovative technology which has been incorporated into the MamaTens unit, you will be able to help counter this. The MamaTens unit achieves this by delivering a variety of signals dependent upon the stage of your labour.
When labour begins, your midwife or birth partner attaches four small self-adhesive electrode pads on your back. The MamaTens control unit transmits electrical impulses through your skin via these pads.
Two-way pain control
These gentle impulses attack pain in two ways: by stimulating the release of endorphins, the body's own pain-relieving hormones; and by stimulating the nerves to block pain signals before they reach the brain.
Positive effects can be felt immediately.
The MamaTens unit and electrode pads are small and unobtrusive, giving you maximum mobility as you need it.
Control is simplicity itself with the pre-set stimulation programmes. Variable low-level outputs relieve milder pain. Boost Mode and the unique "Ramp Mode" offering enhanced pain suppression during contractions.
MamaTens helps you relax and prepare for your baby's birth: from first contractions to delivery, at home and in hospital. MamaTens also helps ease after-pains as your uterus contracts after birth, and can manage the discomfort of an episiotomy or tear.
The MamaTens can be bought outright or rented for 30 day periods. We normally despatch the Babycare TENS machine three weeks before your baby is due. If your baby arrives late, please give us a ring. If we are notified in advance we will extend the 30 day hire for a week for FREE. If you then wish to hire for another week, a charge of £8 per week applies.
