What happens if my baby comes early?

Question

I'm supposed to have a C-Section @ 39+1 (nov 25th). I'm scared to death to delivery vaginally for reasons I'd prefer to keep private. I was also diagnosed with seizures and I'm anemic so my Dr has agreed to do the procedure for my health both mentally and physically.
But what happens if I go into labor early? 
(I was supposed to be a cesarean baby but came rushing out of my mom before the procedure)
I'm 35+6 right now and have been having contractions for weeks but so far no dilation just effacing and babys stationing but it still makes me nervous because of how fast my mom went from closed to 10.
Also would the reaction of what the Drs would do change depending on how many weeks I am?
Any information / experience is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Answer

My doc said if i go into labor before my csection then they will do an emergency csection

Answer

I am scheduled for my 3rd c-section Nov 21st & I had the same concerns. I was worried that if I went into labor they'd expect me to deliver vaginally....so I asked my Dr what would happen. My Dr told me that I need to be sure to call if my water breaks or I have contractions that get to be 15 minutes apart & aren't stopping no matter what I do, that way I can get to the Drs & they can stop labor. If it's after 38 wks they may do the csection early, depending how things are progressing but no matter what every attempt would be made to stop labor no matter how far along I am....given I don't show up at the Dr needing to push or baby is crowning.
I would guess your doctor's guidance would be similar but definitely ask at your next appointment. It'll ease your mind having answers to "what if" & you'll know what to do in case you do go into labor.
