Birth position in KKH and NUH

To mummies who gave birth at KKH and/or NUH, could you share your experience on what birth positions they allow? Does the hospital allow you to bring yoga ball or move around the room before the actual pushing? If they do allow, at what cm dilation do they insist you to be on bed? And once on bed, is it a must to be on your back? I'm first time mum and watch a lot of vids where women get to move around. I wish I can do that too to fasten the labour. But I do know they strap the baby heart rate monitor on you (not sure at what cm dilation), so that may restrict movement? Appreciate all advice and insights. Im currently on subsidy route and will be moving to my preferred gynae in a month's time. Thank you! #advicepls #FTM #firsttimemom #firstbaby

Give birth at NUH/KKH both we trap to bed no moving about. But if you have gynae, you can speak with him/her to let them know your choices of birth, how you want it to be done like yoga ball, walking around etc. I do know of someone that took gynae, go through birth at NUH and has her choice of birth method and how the planning of her birth gonna be like. She specifically mentioned not to be strap, she kneel down to have a better control breathing method and she give birth on all four position.
