Well, since no one else has answered you, I'll try, don't know a lot about it but I think to be safe the progesterone level has to be at a certain level in addition to a temperature drop. If you search back through past threads you will probably find more info.
You can do a section if the progesterone has fallen to less than 2 ng/ml. Otherwise, the only safe way is to wait until they go into labor, unless you had progesterones during the breedings so you are certain of the dates.

"To be safe", don't schedule a c-section at all. If you already know that you will need a section, don't breed the bitch. This is major surgery. You don't do it unless you have no other choice.
