You can take chances.
The incidence of bleeding before onset of labour keeps increasing as the pregnancy is advancing.
If you don't mind running to the hospital in the middle of night you can wait up to 38 weeks.
Please share your latest sonography scan so that an assessment can be made regarding the chances of bleeding before onset of labour.

Cesarean in placenta previa should be done after 37 completed weeks because if you go in labour you are going to bleed profusely
At 36 completed weeks the lung maturity has been achieved we give you a one more week of leeway to ensure full lung maturity
