I did. I was actually prepared to try to put up with nit, but the nurse was lax about it, and at some point the ob on call saw there was not a continuous strip so he sent someone with a release form for me to sign since I was "refusing monitoring". I hadn't been, but the form made it sound very achievable and I was going with no pain meds, so I signed and was no longer bothered. I chose some occasional monitoring but it was great to be able to keep getting up.

Good luck!
