@msmorgannbabyy, I had to do that the other night because I was having contractions so they hooked me up to monitor him and my contractions.

it just monitors the babys heart rate and contractions if any

I've never had one but have one today. I'm so nervous lol what do they do, just monitor the heartbeat? I am 40 weeks 4 days so it's for if I have to be induced.
