TENS... I remember seeing that acronym in my medical terminology course but had to look it up again...
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation
electrical current through the skin to block pain..good because no drugs to affect mom or baby...commnly used during labor.
that the right TENS?

edited to add...congrats MOM and baby....
Congratulations!
Your birthing description had me glued to my seat
My paternal g'ma was a midwife, and I'm told she was a jewel. My mother said that expectant mothers used to try to delay their labor until she was available!
I hope everything will continue to go well with you, Baby Charlie, little William, and the rest of the family. Don't forget to give William lots of love and praise for being a big brother.

I've never heard of a TENS unit being used for labor and delivery. I'm not so sure how that could help Uterine Contractions. I've used one for back pain but labor.
