Why were you under consultant care?

Casual Friday musings for me today, I'm pregnant with my second baby. Baby 1 was born 12 years ago so quite a big gap. I'm early 30s so not considered "older" for the purposes of pregnancy.
My last child was born by emergency section, had been breech for a long time and wouldn't turn so was booked for elective section. Unfortunately went into labour naturally before then so turned into emergency section. Had been having growth scans from around 32 weeks which is where they'd initially spotted baby being breech.

I'm wondering what the likelihood is of being midwife vs consultant care this time. I absolutely don't mind either way, but curiosity has got the better of me. It's still early days so not having my first midwife appointment for another few weeks.

Consultant led due to obstetric cholostasis.

DD had a rugby ball shaped head (long and thin not Hey Arnold) picked up during 20 week scan, had extra scans and righted itself at 35 weeks.... This pattern has recently been identified as a possible early biomarker for ASD and DD does have ASD. I also had low amniotic fluid or so they thought, turned out not to be the case when she was born it was just all behind her.
