for all that asked how I did my contraction with my tens here is the up-dated sheet.

depending how how long you want your labor to last you can adjust the times for this. I personally do a 12-14 hour labor, if I want a difficult labor i’ll push it to 20 hours. For that you just stretch the times out to fit your needs.


Early labor

Hour’s 1-2
Tens set to 2-3
contractions last 40 to 60 seconds and occur every 5 minutes

Hour’s 3-4
Tens set to 4-5
contraction last 40 to 60 seconds and occur every 5 minutes

Hour’s 5-6
Tens set to 6
contraction last 40 to 60 seconds and occur every 5 minutes

Hour’s 7-8
Tens set to 7
contraction last 40 to 60 seconds and occur every 5 minutes

Hour’s 9-10
Tens set to 8
contraction last 40 to 60 seconds and occur every 5 minutes





Active labor
Hours 11-12
Tens set to 9
contraction last 45 to 50 seconds and occur every 4 minutes

Hour’s 13-14
Tens set to 10 or highest setting
contraction last 60 seconds and occur every 2-1/2 minutes





* please note that the setting number are based off of what my tens unit tops out at. so you might need to make adjustments if your tens goes higher than that.
