Did anyone have in their birth plan that they did not want an electronic fetal monitor?

Did the doctor honor your request?
I had four births without an electronic monitor, but it was difficult to find a place that would allow it.
Statistics show that the electronic monitor does not lower the infant mortality rate, but it triples the c-sec rate. That was why I did not want one.
