Opting for C-section as subsidised patient?

As a subsidised patient under KKH, can I opt for c-section without medical reasons? I feel like I’m better prepared for c-section as opposed to natural birth. Would the doctors reject my request? #advicepls

Thanks for the advice all! The thing is, I already have a major scar at belly area (from an ovarian cyst operation) so I kind of know what to expect in terms of pain and scars for c-section… as opposed to natural birth which is a new territory for me hence the nervousness for going natural.. 🤣

If you had prior surgery which means you are at higher risk of uterine rupture during contraction? That might be a good reason to opt for c sec. I don’t think the doc will say no.
