That said, I actually do prefer internal monitoring to external monitoring. My OB and I had discussed it, and came to the conclusion that internal monitoring would probably make me happiest (since intermittent hand-held monitoring wasn't an option.) They had this cool snap-on system when Karl was born so we could unsnap the lead anytime we wanted. The wire went from Karl's head to a snap on my thigh, and another wire snapped onto that and went to the monitor.
But I think those cervical clips are scary. What happens to all those clips and leads when the baby is actually being born?
