You should stay in program A as long as possible, but when your contractions intensify and become more frequent you can progress to program B
Program B
- provides a stimulation pattern which is set to block the heightened pain.

triggerred by pressing the BOOST button.
If you find programs A and B do not meet your needs for pain relief there is a third program C, which provides a higher level of pain relief.
