Still breech, delivery choices...

Hello,

I'm 36+3, found out baby is still in the complete breech position today. Has been since 30 weeks. I'm told it's unlikely to turn now and have a confirmation scan on Monday when they'll do more detailed measurements to see if ECV is an option.

I'm pretty much decided against ECV regardless...

My question is, at what stage will they actually do a CS if baby doesn't turn naturally? Do they leave it as close to 40 wks as possible? I desperately don't want to be in hospital over Xmas (due date is 30th Dec). Could I realistically push for delivery at say 38.5 weeks so I'd be home for Xmas Day, or could I persuade them to let me go in on Boxing Day?! Or, is it a case of you get what you're given??

Trivial I know, but I'm just getting my head around the increasing likelihood of C Section...

TIA

Morning everyone, just back from a scam and still breech, average fluid and growth all fine... But I'm not in the market for an ECV so yes, the 23rd or 24th is on the cards to meet our baby!
