Requesting c-section

Has anybody here requested a c-section that wasn't medically indicated? I'm still early on (12w) but I'm leaning towards that option and I'm wondering how difficult it would be.
For background, I have had one ELCS (breech baby) and one VBAC. My vbac wasn't medically complicated but I still feel really traumatised by it and I don't really feel like I can go through it again.

Here (based on the experiences of friends, I've only had emergency sections) they always offer a section if you've had one regardless of how many vbacs you have had.

I hope it's the same where I am- I just assumed it went off of your last birth for some reason. Thanks!

I requested one for my first baby. I didn't come up against any issues yet. They just told me about the risks and I had to see a consultant etc. But they're happy to do it. It depends on the hospital I think.
