I had monitoring with Ds2 (scalp monitor) and I could move around with him.

When I had M in December, I also was monitored, basically from the start when I was induced, (I was also in the early stages of natural labour), my Ob was concerned because of low birth weight & aging placenta, so I had a scalp monitor put on bub. I was only allowed to move around if the midwife was in the room with me, the monitor was taken off so I could go to the toilet. I was asked to stay on the bed as much as possible, and if I needed to roll over, to have the midwife in the room with me. The Ob and midwife also suspected that bubs cord was around her neck, which was showing up on the monitor as dropping heart rate and there was discussion at the end (which I knew nothing about) whether to let me to continue or send me up for a c/sect to get her out safely. In the end, they let me continue, unlooped the cord and let DH deliver her.

My Ob was also watching the length of the cord attached to the scalp monitor to see progress of labour.

My thoughts are with you and your family.
