Rubbish midwives and consultants

I have been so chilled throughout this whole pregnancy. I'm hoping for a VBAC it's my second baby. Last time I saw the consultant was may/June time. I'm now 37 weeks, I mentioned to my midwife who said I should have had one at 36 weeks and she would chase at 38 weeks. But I don't trust her either. She has constantly been difficult to get hold of and very sort of in and out. I recently had shingles and I messaged her at the request of the GP and a health visitor and she never responded. I feel like I've been left in the lurch right at the end. I know they are busy with lots of patients but if a woman messages you she has shingles a little reassuring text back isn't alot to ask for is it?

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃
