Requesting Elective C section

[cantthinkofaname2021]

Hello,
I posted a couple times regarding this and got some excellent advice, so just want to ask again!
I am 25 weeks pregnant, last birth 2 years ago was very traumatic (and long), very bad experience. I also have an ongoing mass on my Fallopian tube which was going to be investigated before I got pregnant (unplanned) but it's being monitored, so I'm under consultant led care for this
I decided after research that I really want to have an elective c section, I can't go through natural birth again I told my midwife about the traumatic birth at my booking appointment, she told me that second births are quicker & easier, said I can have a debriefing with the hospital about it (not heard anymore)
I mentioned to my consultant gynaecologist that I want to have a c section, she said that the mass on my tube is no reason to have a c section but if I had to have one for another reason, they would look at it whilst I'm in theatre
I have a phonecall tomorrow with consultant and regular appointment with midwife on Thursday, so I really want to address this issue that this is what I want. How did you go about requesting one, and did anyone say no to you? I would possibly have to have keyhole surgery after birth for the mass anyway so it makes sense that is dealt with at the same time (not the main reason but would help)
Any advice please :)

I asked verbally twice, the first time it was agreed, the second time it was someone else who intimated I wouldn’t be approved. I hit the roof and put my request in writing, along with my reasons and a note that if the risks of my choice came to pass that was on me but if complications arose due to my request being declined I would hold them responsible. A lovely consultant called me immediately on receiving the letter and assured me that I had a right to choose to give birth however I wanted to and he was happy to do the surgery. All went well.
