Both of my c-sections were done at 38 weeks. I did not have any complications, but having a c section is always risky.

Having the surgery at 38 weeks is probably going to be less risky for you than waiting until you are full term. The longer your uterus is
enlarged
Enlarged adenoids
Enlarged prostate
and the bigger the baby gets, the higher your risk of
uterine
Dysfunctional uterine bleeding (dub)
Endometrial cancer
Fetal heart and uterine contraction monitor
Intrauterine device
Intrauterine growth restriction
Normal uterine anatomy (cut section)
Uterine anatomy
Uterine prolapse
Uterine fibroids
rupture
Aortic rupture, chest x-ray
Tracheal/bronchial rupture
Ruptured eardrum
. With this being your 5th c/s your risks of that have already increased significantly.

I agree with LosingMyMindinGA.
We can now share blogs here on the forums (YAY) so I want to share with you one of my blog friends who has had a few c-sections and blogs a lot about it:
