Hi,

The times i was induced with 2 out of my 4 kids so far i had to spend the entire labour with the ctg monitor on. I wasnt able to get out of bed but i actually never wanted too.

The only time i got really annoyed with the ctg was in the last 10 mins of my labour when the contractions were basically non stop and the baby was moving down the birth canal so the m/w was pushing on the monitors to try and get her heartbeat still. My belly was rock hard and i just wanted to rip the thing off an throw it. I did at one point, right at the end lift them up off my belly cos i couldnt stand it. But her head was coming out then so the m/w let me go.

Apart from that though it didnt bother me. Its comforting to be able to hear your baby's heartbeat the whole time and know straight away if there is a problem.
