Early labor?

So I went to the OB yesterday and they checked my cervix because my Braxton Hicks are getting stronger. I had some light pink spotting very minimal like just a small spot sometimes when I would wipe. Well I was 3 centimeters dilated she told me I could be going into early labor and to watch the contractions well I went home last night and timed them there about every five to 10 minutes apart only lasting like 30 seconds to a minute well today I woke up and have more of a dark brown discharge definitely a lot more than yesterday and I see it every time I wipe my contractions are still every 5 to 8 minutes but there more painful like it's a hard pressure in my mid to high stomach and hurts . I have to breathe through but it's still not extremely uncomfortable .I'm not sure if I should just keep timing or when I should go in this is my first and I'm only 37 weeks and 4 days I know that's not bad just scary.

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

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 😃
