- tens = TENS machine, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation = Small electrical pulses from the audio-cassette-sized TENS machine prevent pain signals from the womb and cervix from reaching your brain and also stimulate your body to release its own natural "feel-good" endorphins, easing the first half (and possibly more) of labour.
Read about using the TENS machine during Eloise's birth.
- back = back/reverse/obverse/rear/heads of an object such as a ticket or coin
