Default Re: labour

NICE now recommend that TENS should not be offered. The birth partners also have a huge role in influencing what analgesia the women choose. Without the midwife's support I find that a lot of partners want the women to have epidoodals. And if the mum is present, they usually like to put their two-penneth worth of their analgesia or lack of the same.
