I've spoke to birth choices clinic and I've got my first appointment coming up with the consultant to discuss getting a planned CS I know there going to try and tell me no but I know that they cannot tell me no but I don't know what to say I'm really nervous I'm quite shy and know that I need to try and stick up for myself as they will try there hardest to not give me a CS

@kianna1 what's your reasoning for not wanting a natural birth? You need to be firm but be aware a lot of consultants will not just perform a csection because you want one it's normally for medical reasons but that said they should refer you to a consultant and hospital that will do one 😊

A c section is a major operation so the consultant has to tell you the risks of a c section v vaginal birth - they need to do this so you can give informed consent.
