I have a consultant and midwife with this pregnancy (first), as I have 2 slipped discs and really bad sciatica.

who do I actually ask for a section? my next midwife appointment is mid September and I don't know when I'll be seeing the consultant yet

Mention it at the midwife appointment and she should be able to get you into the system/flag it. I was told the earlier the better to let them know (by a midwife who works with ELCS patients). Good luck OP.

Ask the midwife and she will get you in for a consultant appointment. Then you'll see the consultant and go through your thoughts with them.

thanks both. I will definitely speak to her about it at my next appointment. I'm only 13 weeks but if I have to fight for it then I want as much time as possible
