Sketchy New Dentist experience: I waited an hour to be seen at this new dentist office for my first appt & once I’m finally seen the dentist practically glances at my ex rays of my teeth and automatically tells me I need to have a crown…

3/5 engaged 38 weeks

I had a midwife appointment on Friday and they told me that I am 3/5 engaged. Does this mean labour will happen soon? The midwives gave me the impression it will happen very soon. They booked me in for a scan for next week and said “if the baby doesn’t come before then”
