Even with CFM, you don't have to be on your back, or on the bed. You can sit up, walk (short distances if you don't have a mobile unit), squat, bounce on a birth ball, lean on a partner, lean on the bed...
I would ask your providers for evidence of why CFM is necessary, because my understanding is that it doesn't improve outcome for mum or baby.
Are you able to have a doula, private midwife or other strong woman to support you during labour?
If you have a uterine rupture, i think you will be heading to surgery, so the belts etc won't be a priority.
