It is hospital policy where I live. So if I have a hospital birth I will try to do it but if I can't stand the monitors on my belly or it restricts me too much I just know I'll take them off and they'll just have to cope with that. I couldn't keep the monitor on with my first baby - it was too uncomfortable. I know I annoyed one of the nurses so then i just demanded a different nurse. I have a wonderful personality change during transition where I don't care about anybody elses rules and wobetide anyone who tries to push me around. I wish I could be like that that everyday of my life! Without the pain, of course.
