Sorry I can't give you an answer but I'm curious too as I'm having a presentation scan Wednesday and talks with the consultant after

What happens will largely depend on your reasoning for the request, previous obstetric history, any risk factors for you and your baby and the Consultant's own view on elective sections. You can request a second opinion.

Hi @kmkkkkkkhad I a phone appointment with a consultant recently but my first birth was an EMSC. She was very helpful and went through my previous birth which was interesting as there were things I could remember and then she asked if I'd made a firm decision regarding how I'd like to give birth this time, which I had. She then went through the risks of VBAC vs ELSC with me and told me she was happy to support a nut choice of an ELSC and she then booked me in for it at the beginning of April when I'll be 39 weeks.

*Support my choice not a nut choice.
