Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. You should get the caesarean section done at 36 weeks of pregnancy to avoid the risk of uterine rupture and fetal death if the Labour starts.
You should receive the steroid injection for fetal lung maturity, however they are not needed if the delivery occurs beyond34 weeks of pregnancy.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
