This is exactly what happened to me. I asked for a final scan at 37 weeks to check for sure that it hadn't moved far enough. Although mine didn't move I didn't book in the c/s until we made absolutely certain that the darn thing was staying put where it was.
On the plus side, knowing her delivery date meant we were totally prepared, even the cars got washed beforehand! And the c/s ended up being a completely positive experience for us (my birth story is around here somewhere... here it is A scheduled c/s that turned out to be memorable... ). Once I knew I had no choice I stopped thinking it was unfair and just focused on the best way to prepare myself and made sure I did everything I could to speed up my recovery.
Also I know a lot of Mums end up with emergency c/s and I told myself that would be much worse than an elective c/s. So all in all it certainly isn't the worst case scenario for a birth. It's making me look forward to my next pg too, knowing there's a great chance of a vbac will make it completely different to this time!
