What happens if I go into labour before c-section date?

I have a c-section booked for late next week, I'm increasingly becoming worried about what happens if I go into labour either in the middle of the night or on a weekend?
This is probably a stupid question, but say I went to hospital in the middle of the night on a Sunday and was obviously in labour, would I still get my c-section? How long do they leave you in labour before giving you your c-section?
Would I have to be at a certain dilation before they would do it?

I had a very traumatic first labour with a third degree tear, and am just feeling a bit anxious about going into labour early and for some reason not being able to have my c-section.

Would love to hear from people who are knowledgeable on the process Smile

Happened to me with dc2 (dc1 got stuck at full dilation and couldn't be pushed or pulled out). The midwives pushed vbac quite hard but the doctor said it was absolutely my choice. Ended up with a fabulous semi elective emcs at 6cm at 6am, around 3 hours after I got to hospital. They did say that I'd have been behind any emergencies (understandably) but we were lucky and it was a quiet night.
