I am almost 36 weeks and am still in the process of trying to get a planned c section my due date is the 3rd of December I got told if they grant me a CS they will want to do it by the 39th week I don't want to give birth how do I keep her inside of me until my due date

There's no way of preventing labour, if your body is going to go into labour it will do. If you went into spontaneous labour before your c-section date then they will just bring it forward.

They won't plan it for earlier than 39 weeks but of you go onto labour they will do it then - if you can hold on long enough to get into theatre!

You really can't.

I started feeling initial contractions the day before my elective section was due, so I lay down to make sure baby's head was off the cervix and they quietened down. No waters broken or anything.

You can't

Please be aware that you have a right to choose a section, it's not about whether it's granted or not. As someone said, they won't plan it in earlier than 39 weeks (for medical reasons) but should bring it forward if you do go into labour. Is this your first baby?
