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

i gave birth at NUH and was induced too. however, i wasnt asked to lay down for 2 hrs with baby monitoring. once they insert the induce medicine, they will wheel me back to my ward and ask me to try to keep walking around the ward and do squatting exercise. a few hours later they will wheel me to the other ward to check for dilation and the cycle repeats til my waterbag burst and I was 3cm dilated. that was when I was asked to lay on bed , no moving around and with baby monitor strapped
