Preset programmes and intelligent "Active Power" ramp
The MamaTENS "My Time" has 2 preset programmes. These programmes
have been clinically proven to give relief from labour pain. Both
programmes have a boost facility so that they can be used between
and during contractions. A power ramp facility, a variation of "intense
TENS", has also been included to help counter extreme pain. In Active
Power ramp mode, as long as you keep your finger pressed, the strength

mechanism of TENS called "Brief Intense TENS", to help counter extreme
pain. You can use the intelligent Active Power control to hold the
strength just below the highest you can stand.

2. HOW "TENS" WORKS
TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation.
TENS stimulates your body's own natural defences against pain.
TENS has been used by thousands of expectant mothers and is
commonly used as part of the birth plan.
You can use it from the start of the first contraction at home and
take it into hospital with you. Some women find that TENS is the
only pain relief they need during their labour.
