I was induced with the synto with DS. I think everyone has given you some really good pointers and advice. I just wanted to add that even if you don't have wireless monitoring (I didn't), you can still move around and get into whatever position you like. It is their job to keep the monitors in place, you just need to focus on laboring and let them worry about monitoring. I had a fantastic midwife who enouraged me to try all different types of positions while she held/adjusted the monitors. My only advice to you would be don't take no for answer in terms of positioning yourself how you want to be positioned.
If you're worried about the hospital/midwifes cooperating, them maybe see if you can get hold of a student midwife or doula to attend your labor, they would be great if helping you find the position that will work for you.
