Baby has dropped

So baby has dropped, my son says it looks like the bump has melted 😅 I'm getting really intense lightning crotch amongst other things and had a few period like cramps that came and went yesterday. Thing is, I never really got this far with my son, he never truly dropped which is why I had such an awful time trying to give birth to him! Question is, what now? Once baby has dropped, how long was it before people went into labour? I'm guessing they can still go to term regardless, but not sure if I should be preparing myself for an early appearance 😬

Morning C-section

Last time I was an afternoon elective C-S, went in for 2pm and baby born at 5pm. This time I have to be there for 7 30 am
What time did your c-s end up happening if you had a morning elective? I know it can vary but still curious if there's an average 🤔

TW: image attached - Elective section scar healing

Hi all, I had my c section 12 days ago now. This is my 2nd section, the first time around it healed fine. But this time it feels a lot more intense. I have been having stinging sensation and pulling. Today I checked it and notice this lump. Is this normal, should I be concerned I’m worrried that the scar looks as though it’s healing outwards like a keloid?

Low iron and elective c section?

Hi all
Has anyone been successful in getting an elective c section while also having low iron?
I’m only 11 weeks so have a long way to go yet but already have low iron (vegetarian and have always had low iron/ anaemia). I’m taking OTC supplements and have asked for a transfusion if it gets more severe (not approved yet, who knows). I can’t stomach the prescription iron.
But I’m worried I could be refused an elective c section because of this (due to the increased bleed risk). Has anyone managed and if so how? Did you just push for transfusions beforehand?

I need people to fill up my side of the wedding?

Hi, my name is Morgan. I am having a wedding in about a year. Due to religious reasons, my parents and family will not be attending. Thus my side will be empty. I am taking applications for people to be my cousins aunts uncles and somebody to walk me down the aisle. Yes I’m aware of how pathetic the sounds but hit me up if you want to participate.
