Which one did u go for?
I'm trying to sort this out at the mo. I have founf the following options:
1.Tens mach for sale in Sam McCauleys for 100 euro
2 . Cheapest Tens mach for sale on inhealth.ie is 47.50
3. Rent one from Boots for 1m for approx 50 (I think?) but you have to post it back and pay for postage (unknown cost)
4. Rent one from O'Sullivan's chemist for 43 euro for 1 m
5. Found a second hand one on Done Deal advertised price 40 euro

Decisions decisions!!

I used rental from www.medicare.ie I wanted to rent rather than buy as it would quickly become unused clutter - even if I have ten more babies, that will be onlyten days over a decade that it is actually used, and my tiny house is tight for storage space. Also, i habe no idea if it is applies here but when hiring something like DIY tools inthe past, generally the item is far more 'professional' and better spec than the consumer retail version, so I assumed the same logic applied here, without actually researching it!

I chose Medicare as they are a specialist medical devices service provider, and I was persuaded by the spin on their website that their model is the best for obstetric use. I know my sister used the Boots rental machine and found it great, but I just somehow preferred the idea of a specialist supplier. I think the cost was marginally dearer than Boots or some others once you factored in delivery (a couple of euro in the difference maybe) but if you live near their premises, they offer the option to collect it for no charge either.

It's amazing how many areas we become expert in while pregnant!

I was going to rent one... then forgot... and the midwife in the delivery room gave me the hospital one to use. Great job. Got to 6 cm with just that.

Alas.. I forgot again.. hope they still have them

morebabies · 31-07-2014 4:55pm

Wonder how llambert is getting on and her twins. Pls God all is well.

shortstuff! · 31-07-2014 5:03pm

I bought an Elle tens for €30 on adverts, it's the one they rent from boots & had great reviews on amazon. Was only used for one labour. Bought 2sets of new pads for a tenner off amazon & sure I can sell it on!

staticdoor71 · 31-07-2014 5:19pm

Hopefully everyone is doing great

Kaylami · 31-07-2014 6:12pm

Quick update had my waters broken - was not pleasant.

They aren't happy with baby heart rate so if it doesn't pick up c section in 1 hour !

Thanks very good tips. I'm the same, don't need the extra clutter so think I will also rent one. They have a very good video on that website! Even if you got your TENS machine from another company I think it's worth watching that video it really explains really clearly how the whole thing works! I've a feeling the one you got is the one O'Sullivan's pharmacy rents out coz the price is weirdly exactly the same! Might ring them tomorrow as if going through them saves me posting it back etc, how bad

llambert · 31-07-2014 11:14pm

Hey girlies. Sorry was out of it most of the day. Baby boys Adam 5lb 8 and Cian 5lb 7 were born at 1 this afternoon.

Both perfect and are with me. Thanks for all the lovely messages.

Best of luck Kaylami sending best wishes& vibes your way.

Can't wit till all the August Mammies gave their bundles of joy x x x

Lucuma · 31-07-2014 11:22pm

Wow!! llambert HUGE huge congrats to you and your hubbie!! I rem when I first met you on here and you were on the anxious 2 week wait and now look at you, proud Mammy of 2 boys!! Yippee !!! :-)

emer_b · 31-07-2014 11:31pm

Brilliant news llambert, congratulations! Have been waiting to hear all day and for some reason I expected it to be two boys. Are they identical?

bobskii · 31-07-2014 11:36pm

Jumping over from the January thread to congratulate you llambert,we used to chat on the ttc thread . I'm delighted for you .twin boys you must be delighted with yourself . well done and best of luck for the future!

Lucuma · 31-07-2014 11:46pm

I can answer that ember_b haha....like Bobskii I was on the TTC forum with llambert, they're not identical.
llambert I have to say I had reservations about your second choice of name Kain, I was thinking where's she goign with that one like Cain and Abel in the bible maybe?! Kind of relieved when you corrected the spelling hee hee! :-)
