Using a compact, portable TENS Unit in labor helps you maintain your freedom of movement throughout early and active labor. Many birthing people find it especially helpful for the fatigue and tenderness of "Back Labor" symptoms. Using a TENS Unit gives you a safe alternative comfort measure, that you control and use in birth for long periods of time.
