Forced C-Section?

I'm not due until September, so this isn't really an issue right now... BUT, at my last doctor's visit (which was my first for this pregnancy), right before my appointment ended, my doctor told me that she'd be scheduling my c-section for the second to the last week in August and walked out of the room. She didn't even ask if I had questions or if I wanted to try for a VBAC before assuming that I wanted another c-section. Now, maybe it was my hormones but this seriously pissed me off and made me immediately want to change doctors. Not simply because she assumed I would be having a repeat c-section, but because it made me remember how forced to have a c-section I felt when I had one with my son (he was initially transverse but was breech the day before she scheduled to deliver him.. I asked about delivering him breech and her exact words were "We only deliver breech babies for tree climbers and trail mix eaters"... as in people really into nature or whatever, I guess? I also asked about a version and she told me that it'd hurt a lot because I was really little). To be honest, my c-section was a breeze compared to my vaginal delivery. I was up and walking and stuck to breastfeeding because I wasn't in excruciating pain for weeks. HOWEVER, I really wanted to try for a VBAC but I feel like she's gonna try to push me into having another c-section... And if I do decide to have one, why does she feel it needs to be two weeks before my due date? Idk.... If anyone made it to the end of this, what would you suggest or what would you do if you were in my shoes?

Any 1st time moms who had a c-section? My due date is Wednesday. At my Dr appt today, my Dr said I'm not dilated at all.…

Any 1st time moms who had a c-section? My due date is Wednesday. At my Dr appt today, my Dr said I'm not dilated at all. My baby has been measuring big all along, and my Dr now estimates he is about 9.5lbs and doesn't think I can deliver him naturally... so she scheduled me for a c-section on Thursday. This is my 1st baby, and I really don't know how to feel about it all.

Idk if I should be happy or disappointed with how my doctor appointment went

Idk if I should be happy or disappointed with how my doctor appointment went She said she can’t let me have a VBAC because I’ve already had 3 previous c sections But she will let me go all the way to 40 weeks and have my c section on that day That’s if I don’t go into labor before my due date I really didn’t want another c section but I guess I have no other option
