Labour Pain Experience

Ultrasound Babyface has put together a light-hearted experience that allows anyone an insight into pregnancy. The participant will pop on a weighted bump and will undergo a range of everyday household activities that a heavily pregnant woman may struggle with on the run up to labour.  Once they have completed the activities they will finish the 30 minute experience by being wired up to our Labour Pain Machine*.

This experience has been created in jest; we completely appreciate that we cannot fully replicate the experience of pregnancy and labour in a 30 minute timescale; however we hope that all participants leave with a higher level of empathy and a better understanding of what mothers go through.

What is the Labour Pain Machine?

The Labour Pain Machine is a standard TENS Machine, this stands for Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. A TENS machine is a small, battery-operated device that has leads connected to sticky pads called electrodes and is typically used as a method of pain relief by administering mild electrical currents to the muscles in pain. Whilst using on a low setting serves as a means of pain relief, however use on higher settings creates mild discomfort to pain depending on the pain tolerance of the participant.
