Bub's Nuggets 🐣
Vitamin K is given at birth to prevent a rare but serious bleeding disorder.
This provides effective drug-free pain relief during early labour at an accessible price point, but the rental process involves extra trips to return it postpartum. Perfect for UK parents wanting to try TENS without full commitment, but skip the rental and buy one outright if you're planning multiple births or hate admin tasks.
⚠️Pad placement is critical—if you don't position it correctly on your lower back, it won't provide adequate pain relief, so practice before labour begins.

The Boots TENS Maternity Unit is a reasonably priced TENS machine available on the high street, but parents note some inconveniences with the rental process compared to buying one outright. It provides effective pain relief during labour when used properly, but requires careful placement and battery management.

Start using the Boots TENS Maternity Unit as soon as you think you may be in labour, as it works best with a gradual build-up.
Make sure your partner knows how to quickly change the batteries in the Boots TENS Maternity Unit if needed during labour.
Work with your midwife to ensure the electrode pads of the Boots TENS Maternity Unit are positioned correctly on your back for maximum pain relief.
