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 delivered twice in KKH, & first delivery I asked the midwives if I must be on my back during delivery, can be on fours? (I too watched videos & told on fours easier.) the answer was big fat No... & I was strapped in by the baby heart monitor from the start... So I duno is it cos its public hospital or the midwives just afraid something happened cos they not familiar... I wen maternity tours at private hospitals & they seemed more open to water births & some even provide exercise balls...
