Consultant doesn't want me to have a c section

Hi, went for 22 week appointment today. I had a c section with ds as he was breech. I said I'd prefer the same this time as I recovered well and felt happy with it. Consultant said 'it's such a pity you had the c section' She then said they certainly wouldn't book a c section before my due date. She would hope I have a quick natural vbac. That only if it wasn't happening quick ebough or if I went over ny due date that she would book me in for c section.

I'm gutted, I know there are much bigger problems in pregnancy, and I should just be happy all is going well. But I'm terrified of a natural birth and was happy to think I'd have another elcs. I had hoped to get a choice? Am I being ridiculous? I cried all the way home and my dh was less than understanding. I can't tell if it's pregnancy hormones or I'm over reacting but I'm really upset.
