First consultant appointment what to expect?

Hello, asking a lot of advice at the moment! But I was wondering. I am 20 weeks and just had my scan on Monday. All ok. I have my first appointment with the consultant tomorrow ( hospital pre booked at 13 weeks). It's consultant as I have requested an elective section and they've put me on consultant led. Does anyone know what happens at this appointment? Non of the midwives to date have questioned my decision when I've explained why I want one and I was wondering is that what the consultant is going to do or will he go through what happens? Getting a bit nervous now as going on my own and I've heard about people getting pressured in to VBs.

Personally I would get someone - partner, parent, friend, acquaintance - to come with you. I've learnt rude doctors tend to be less rude if you are accompanied especially by someone who can stand up for you.

Thank you @AmyDowdensLeftLeftShoe this one ended up being ok but I will ask DH if he will come to the next one with me as I suspect they will be more pushy and it's hard to remember everything!
