Can I refuse continuous monitoring during induction for gestational diabetes?

Refusing continuous monitoring?

Just wondering if anyone has been in this position? Due to gestational diabetes I've been told I'm to be taken in to be induced with baby number 3 in at the most 6 week's time. My blood sugars have always been fine and I'm not on insulin or anything. They've said I won't be able to have a water birth mainly because I will need to be continuously monitored. I spent most of my first labour tied to a bed strapped to monitors being poked at (they said they had to because they burst my waters) and it was awful. I wasn't progressing at all until I couldn't take it anymore and stood up leads and all. I'm not saying I'm refusing all monitoring, I don't want to cause unnecessary risk, but I can't face that poking and immobility again. Can I request they monitor as much as they want, just with the handheld monitor or whatever else they might have? I know not the same risk as induction but Dd2 was a straightforward waterbirth and that's all the midwife used. When I'm in pain I have to keep moving, it's how I cope :p xx
