Suiting things to your personality seems all the rage these days.
Psychometric tests indicate what careers you’re destined for, Facebook and Google are crammed with quizzes and tests demonstrating ‘What is your perfect pet?’, ‘What type of friends should you socialise with?’, ‘Which car will suit you most?’, ‘Which plant will suit you least?’…the list goes on. However, I have not yet found a personality test for pregnant women! Why should they reap different results I hear you cry?…Oh didn’t you know women totally change as soon as they get pregnant?…Just ask their other halves!…Ok, so not everyone totally changes but on a more serious note, it is true that pregnant women do require a few alternative things to what they did before – different clothes, different foods, different ways of relaxing, each different for each woman. One thing on a pregnant woman’s mind is her choice of pain relief in labour and childbirth. Many women choose to use a Babycare TENS machine. The question is which one do you choose?
As you have probably seen on our Babycare TENS website we have a selection of TENS machine for labour and childbirth to hire and buy. They are the Obi TENS, Femme TENS, Lady TENS and Elle TENS, all effective but all slightly different to suit the different needs of our clientele. Here are some suggestions as to what in each are likely to suit whom.

You’ve just done the pregnancy test, it’s face down in your hand whilst you and your spouse/partner count the minutes before turning it over…5, 4, 3, 2, 1 go! You flick it over and there they both are, two lines, as clear as day…you’re pregnant! There is excitement and nerves, cuddles and kisses and already talk about names. The days tick on and the emotions settle with the familiarity of the news but the physical effects begin to kick in…one being nausea. Some don’t suffer from sickness at all, some get it mildly and some are hit with it hard. There are not so many things to ease sickness but acupressure and eating something in the morning that will raise the lowered sugar levels have found to be effective.
Acupressure is pressure most commonly applied by the index finger and the thumb to specific areas of the body called acupoints, which, when stimulated, can decrease a sensation such as pain or ease discomfort.
Here are a couple of points to try out specifically for nausea, each done for 1-2 minutes (should be an aching sensation after the first few seconds):
- Point 1 can be found in that webby bit of skin between the big toe and second toe.
- Point 2 is found on the inner central part of the wrist (you have probably seen those sea/air sickness bands that are worn here)
If you can get someone else to do these to you, even better but certainly not a requirement.
Enjoy and let us know how they go or if any other acupoints have worked for you for nausea.

Once again that little voice in your head is piping up “Go on just one more cigarette, what’s just one more going to do?” and “I’m sure a couple of glasses of wine each night won’t make a difference!”…
It is a known fact that nicotine, other drugs and alcohol are not recommended during pregnancy due to the potential effects they can have on the fetus and newborn baby.
It’s not so easy however, to stop a cycle that one has been used to for some time. There are many ways to ease you off a dependency, at least for those nine precious months, and we suggest you try anything that sounds good to you.
We know that Acupressure can often be a good complimentary treatment to whatever else you are doing and best of all it’s free!
Acupressure is pressure most commonly applied by the index finger and the thumb to specific areas of the body called acupoints, which, when stimulated, can decrease a sensation such as pain or ease discomfort of withdrawal for example.
Here are a couple of points to try out specifically for dependency, each done for 1-2 minutes (should be an aching sensation after the first few seconds):
- Point 1 can be found in that webby bit of skin between the big toe and second toe.
- Point 2 is found four fingers’ breadth below the kneecap and slightly to the outer side of the leg.
If you can get someone else to do these to you, even better but certainly not a requirement.
Enjoy and let us know how they go or if any other acupoints have worked for you for dependency.

Welcome to our new blog!
We felt, here at Babycare TENS, that our customers would benefit from more information on our products, pregnancy, labour and other childbirth related topics. So we created a blog packed with info, tips and stories. We hope you find it an enjoyable and useful forum where you can ask questions, share and discuss experiences of pregnancy, labour, childbirth and even post-birth.
Babycare TENS has become the most popular choice for mums-to-be as it is specifically designed to combat pain during childbirth. This is a safe, effective drug-free method of pain relief, which still allows you to use other analgesics, such as pethadine or gas-and-air if you wish.
Feel free to read, ask questions and share 
Looking forward to hearing from you,
The Babycare TENS Team
