C section

Mamas ease my mind if youve had a csection. Im terrified. This is my fifth baby and all were born vaginally. Today is the fifth day of random contractions and im almost 4cm. We attempted to flip the baby yesterday and it was unsuccessful. She is laying the wrong way and the doctor tried for as long as he possibly could without stressing her. He will not schedule a csection unless im in active labor or 39 weeks. Im 37 weeks 5 days and im so scared of getting a csection just because that isnt the norm for me. How did your csection go and how does the process work from start to finish?
