12th Day of Christmas: Coping With Pain During Labor- TENS Unit

Author: Carly Verdi January 1, 2023 Duration: 3:19
What the heck is a TENS unit? TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. It works by sending electrical pulses through a handheld device through your body, to your spinal cord and brain. In this episode, I talk about what a TENS unit is and why it works. I share what it feels like and where you can find them if you're interested in trying them out.

Carly Verdi hosts Labor Lessons, a space created for mothers and expectant parents who are navigating the profound, often unpredictable journey of childbirth. It stems from a shared feeling many women have-that their first birth experience might not have matched their hopes or expectations. This podcast addresses that directly, offering not just practical knowledge for preparation, but also the vital reassurance that you are not walking this path alone. Each episode is built around a tangible, real-life lesson drawn directly from an actual labor and delivery story. You'll hear those stories in detail, the raw and honest moments that textbooks often leave out. The conversations within this podcast foster a genuine sense of connection, building a community where experiences are shared without judgment. It’s about increasing our collective understanding and personal confidence, whether you're preparing for your first delivery or reflecting on a past one. By focusing on these lived experiences, Labor Lessons serves as both an educational resource and a supportive companion, covering topics that resonate within parenting, family life, and self-improvement. Tune in to find clarity, comfort, and practical wisdom for your own birthing journey.
