I didn't realise until today that the internal foetal monitor actually screws into the baby's head. That must hurt the baby so much I feel heartbroken and sick knowing that not only did my son have this done once when I was in labour, but twice because the midwife accidentally pulled the first one out. I had already decided not to allow it with my next birth, because I didn't like the invasiveness, but now there is no way in hell any of my future babies will ever have this done
