How much to save for private ELCS?

[TwentySomething]

I'm hoping to have one DC in the next 5-7 years (I'm 27 now). Having a private ELCS with a female obstetrician is the only option I find acceptable, due to previous sexual trauma.

I've saved £10k towards this already but would be interested to hear people's opinions on the total amount I should be aiming for. As things currently stand, I won't be a high-risk pregnancy, but I do realise that that could change at any time. I'm looking for all ante- and post-natal treatment to be covered.

Thanks in advance.

Wishforsnow, do you mind saying which hospital in Berkshire?

A midwife (of any sort) is my idea of hell as I just don't trust them and want to avoid a VB anyway.

That might prove difficult because even with a planned CS from before conception a women would usually see midwives and there are generally Midwives present at the CS and caring you both afterwards. Can you share a little about why you don't like MWs?
