Hi Christy

I have never done and will never do constant foetal monitoring. Research has shown that the only outcome from constant foetal monitoring is a very much higher rate of unnecessary medical intervention. We are talking about your body. You have the right to decide what they can do. Should the hospital try to put the monitor on you without your permission then that is assault and also a criminal offence. It really annoys me when policies are made by people who have probably never been present at a normal birth, and without ant apparent consideration for, or discussion with, the person that the policy will affect the most.
If you would like I can send you some research papers on this topic. ( If I still have them).
