Hi there, I’m 40 + 3 today and having pains since 12 today. They are not too bad, pains in the lower abdomen.

Makes me want to bend and sway and breath them off. Pain is not in my back as of yet. My last labour was different, constant pain In abdomen and in back but baby was back to back/wrong direction. It ended in a section. I’m hoping for a natural birth this time?

Why I want to know is when should I put on/use the tens machine? Pains are every 10-15 minutes or so but don’t last very long, maybe 20 seconds.

Please advise

As soon as you can

Thank you
