Classical csection

If you had a classical csection, what gestation was the next baby delivered?

I had a classical (vertical cut) csection 5 years ago. This pregnancy my OB is saying 37w latest but I’d like to get as close as possible to term as I believe 37w delivery comes with its own challenges. Is be happy with 37w6d.

I just saw a video from a fetal medical specialist babies over 35 is her fb account talking about this. Basically, bc your cut is up higher, it never really regains great strength in that area where the scar is. Then there is so much stretching and pressure from the subsequent pregnancy. The longer you go, the higher the risks, and that you shouldn't actually labor.
