I was recently in the daycase unit due to concerns over early labour, when I was 'strapped up' to the monitors I had 2 very strong BH and the contraction monitor didnt pick them up! felt like the midwives thought I was being dramatic. I am a 'larger' woman but not morbidly obese, but I do have a bit of tummy fat which I'm wondering could be stopping the monitors from picking up the BH. Im nearly full term and am concerned they will not believe I'm in labour if this monitor isnt picking up contractions or that something could go wrong as a result of not picking up any contractions. Any larger ladies had a similar experience?
