“OK… here we go”, she manages to squeak out.

She inhales a large forceful breath as she pushes the small, purple, oval BOOST button. Her partner begins to rub her shoulders and her birth doula quietly counts through the peak of her contraction, reminding her to breathe deeply. As the wave of tightness in her abdomen begins to release, she pushes the small, purple button again to rest and recharge as she knows the next wave will soon be coming once again. Knowing when it does, she be encouraged by her birth team and will push the BOOST button on her TENS unit to allow the gentle nerve impulses to help her focus and encourage her own body’s endorphins as she looks forward to meeting her sweet baby soon.
