Now renting TENS units!

Rental includes the use of a TENS unit for 5 weeks with fresh batteries and all the accessories you will need.

TENS is a great option for pain relief during labor, whether you plan to labor without medication, or while you wait for your epidural. The sooner you start using TENS in labor, the better it tends to work. If you hire a doula (or midwife), she may have a TENS, but you may want to start using it before she arrives to support you, so renting one for yourself is a great idea. Hospitals do not have TENS available in Labor & Delivery.

A TENS unit works by sending mild electrical impulses to sticky pads on your lower back. TENS works as the electrical pulses stimulate nerves that run to the spinal cord and block the transmission of pain. This creates a tingling feeling. You can control the strength of the current yourself. It is safe for most laboring people and their babies. TENS also work by providing a distraction and giving you a sense of control, both of which may lessen the anxiety that can delay the progress of labor.

TENS is safe for most laboring people and their babies. It can be used while baby's heart rate is being monitored without disruption. TENS may not be used in water.

Sage Springs Midwifery offers hearing screens for Nevada home birth babies. If your baby was born at home in Nevada, she offers hearing screens once a month. They can be scheduled on her website.

After a long break during the pandemic, we are back to offering hearing screens for all Nevada home birth babies, whether I was your midwife or not! There is now a $20 fee, as the State is now asking us to cover the calibration costs of the machine.

You can schedule your appointment right from my website: www.sagespringsmidwifery.com/schedule
