At What Stage Should C Section Be Expected In Pregnancy?

I am 35 weeks pregnant and have had a scan that shows that i have posterior placenta that is marginal to the int os. I have had two very traumatic pregnancies prior to this one and the sonographer indicated i would need a c section. I am quite anxious and was wondering if this c section was likely to be performed at about 38 weeks? and not wait to 39 weeks. I also have a history of very large babies.
