We provide information for new parents based on evidence and research and offer antenatal and postnatal courses to prepare parents for the incredible life changing experience of pregnancy, birth and early parenthood. We also influence and contribute to national policy, to achieve positive change at a local area and through lobbying governments across the UK to make a difference for all parents.

The charity provides a valuable support community of local parents with our branch volunteer network in every postcode in the UK. We reach over two million mums and dads each year through our website, publications, courses and events.. With over 300 local branches, run by parents for parents, you can get in touch with your local group, wherever in the UK you live. For more information call 0300 330 0770 or visit www.nct.org.uk.

About Babycare TENS: As 'parents' of Babycare TENS, Body Clock Health Care - TENS specialists had regularly been asked by medical professionals to supply TENS machines for their personal use in labour. Word spread, and we received numerous requests from the general public. This lead to the development of the 804OB, a TENS specially designed for childbirth. In recent years, the trusty 804OB has been superseded by newer sleeker Elle TENS and Obi TENS.

It is flattering that others have tried to copy us, but we believe that the original is always the best. We have grown from strength to strength thanks to great products and customer service. We are delighted to hear from our customers and nothing pleases us more than to receive letters and e-mails telling us how our TENS machines have helped mums during childbirth.
