I used to work in an Obs/Gynae theatre unit. Whilst there is some flexibility - you will be restricted somewhat by what days your obstetrician (or your obstetric team if you've got that kind of thing) has their elective c/s list on.
ie. I didn't have a c/s; but the Ob I chose was one I worked with and her elective c/s list (public) was on Fridays; and her private list was on Thursdays.
Just something to be aware of - and they are usually restricted themselves according to the times available in theatre; and what the booking lists are doing for that week.
We had very little say in ours, but mostly because we are going to a small country hospital with limited operating schedules. Of course if I went into labour beforehand they would deal with it. We were given a date & requested a week earlier, which would have been yesterday but I'm still here with a giant belly at 38w 4d.
