Choose your babies birth date

FTM. OB recommended a c-section for a variety of reasons, but mostly because of breech presentation. My EDD is 12/17 and the c-section would likely be scheduled between 39-40 weeks. I’m having a hard time coming to terms with a c-section as this is not how I envisioned my birth. But I guess if I’m looking on the bright side, my Dr’s office is allowing me to choose my baby’s birth date. If you could choose a birthday between 12/10-12/17, which date would you choose? And why?
