A member asked:

At 30 weeks pregnant what could the possible side effects be using a tens machine on the hip and lower back areas?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No effects on baby: Tens machine causes a very local effect and no significant current will pass to baby.

Dr Davis and another doctor agreed
