When should the midwife refer me to a consultant for an elective c section?

[BeckyWilson78]

Hi all, I just wondered if anyone could help me. I have my booking appointment today and after a very difficult first birth (six month recovery, private op needed, action successfully brought against trust) I def want a c section. From what I have read midwives try to fob you off and won't refer you, even though it's not their decision to make. Has anyone here been referred at the booking appt or made to wait longer? Can your gp refer you if midwives won't (am lucky to have a brilliant gp). Majorly stressed and it's ruining the pregnancy for me. My hospital this time is st thomas' thanks in advance

Thank you and yes it was a major relief! Thanks for your kind words

Sorry cheesecakemom, sorry just seen your message. I was lucky today in that the midwife has referred me, she was very sympathetic and even arranged for me tk have the same midwife for future appts, it's obviously very hit and miss so I'm thankful I have got lucky this time. Pls excuse my ignorance but what is mc? Private scans also sounds like a good option

That's exactly what I meant whyohwhy, thank you.
And Becky glad to hear it is all sorted out ok. I didn't think you'd have a problem there.
