Requesting a c section at Essex hospital, has any one got experience with this trust?

All opinions welcome just looking for any guidance and experiences

im currently 17 weeks and my early midwife appointment at 8 weeks I started I wanted a c section, she was all for it and said it was my choice. At my 16 week appointment I saw a different midwife and again stated I wanted a c section she was very judgmental and hesitant, she stated she wouldn’t refer me to a consultant till I was around 37 weeks! This seems far to late in my opinion, the next time I see her will be when I’m 25 weeks I plan to push for a referral as I don’t want to stress when I’m 37 weeks. Has anyone else had anything like this also what are people experience when seeing a consultant?

thank you in advance
