Hi Lizzie,
I know little about maternity and even less about the UK system.
What I can suggest is you need to tell your GP and Obstatrician (when you have one) your fears. You also need to talk to all the nurses you meet along the pregnancy as well.
You need to be able to state what you want to happen. But remember that sometimes the Drs and Nurses make choices as they have you and your babies best interest in mind. Also ask lots of questions.
