Is week 39 too late for elective c-section?

Hi mummies, I am a FTM and planning to schedule an elective c-section on week 39+1. Do you think it is too late? I am worried that baby will come out naturally before that. Please kindly share your experience. On which week do you schedule your c-section?

just checked with my gynae today. she said if labour earlier than scheduled csec and i continue to choose csec, it will be considered as emergency csec :( so she said she will schedule me 1-2 weeks earlier than edd. any day aft that will be too late
