35 weeks pregnant and sciatica

Hello! I am 35 weeks pregnant and this will be my third c-section.  About two weeks ago I noticed that my scar from the previous pregnancies was hurting. I went the hospital and was having contractions.  They monitored the baby and said that everything was fine.  I can have contractions as long as it does not change my cervic.  
My doctor sent me to a high risk doctor (I am 35) for an ultrasound.  They had to press hard on the scar to get a good look at it.  My scar is thinning but it has not broken open.  That night I had horrible pain.  Thought I was in labor.  The next day I could hardly walk.  Went to the hospital and stayed over night.  I have sciatica pain.  (My left leg had been numb for sometime but I thought it was normal.) Now I am home, only tyneol for pain.
My problem is I have two small children at home with me and I can barely walk around the house.  My husband brought me home a crutch to help me.
Will they do a c-section early?  I am guess the baby is not in danger from this pain? They are looking at 39 weeks so about june 13, but I don' t know if I can make.  By the end of the day I am in tears.  I know I should be off my feet as much as possible but my kids wont really let me. they are 2 and 3 years old

Just wanted to make sure it did not effect the baby in anyway.

Unless baby is in distress, no they won't do it early. It puts the baby in more harm taking them early just because you're in pain. It *****, but it's best for baby.
