Does anybody know if I'm able to use those electronic nodes during a back adjustment?

Does anybody know if I'm able to use those electronic nodes during a back adjustment?? I believe the technical term is "Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation." I'm 12 wks, it's my first, and I'm 31. I had a back adjustment today using this technique and now I'm in absolute panic because the chiropractor must have misunderstood me.
I'm getting such conflicting info online! Somebody help please!

Yes, you absolutely can use the TENS machine. I asked my midwife about this just yesterday, and she was a physiotherapist for 20 years before becoming a midwife. Just don't use it in your belly (though you can use it to help with labor pain when the time comes.)

Yes. I have it done every week at my chiropractor. Both chiro and OBGYN say it's safe

My chiropractor will do the adjustments but not the electric stimulation or the massage roller tables. The adjustment works wonders alone that I don't really miss the stim

Yes you can. I've had it done at the chiropractor and the doulas & midwives use it during labor.
