In 12 week NHS scan, do they print a picture for you?

Or do they let you take photo of the screen? If they print a pic, do you have to pay / ask especially , and how many do they print? Thank you

They usually don’t let you take any photos/videos in the actual room but most (if not all) trusts will offer you a photo. It varies by trust, but I had to pay Ā£5 for mine (Norfolk & Norwich hospital). I was also offered more than one but they would’ve been identical pictures - I didn’t get the choice of having multiple (different) photos x

It really depends. I had to pay for mine, it was 2 pounds per picture at West Middlesex Hospital. I only got one but saw some couples leaving with about 5 of them!

You can ask for pictures, think we could choose between 1 for £5 or 3 for £10, they print the picture and then you have to pay afterwards at a machine.
Received 3 different pictures. (Kings mill hospital)

Never had to pay for any at Salisbury Hospital (Wiltshire)

You definitely won’t be aloud to take pics of screen
They will print them off for you
My hospital gave me 10 for free but I no other hospitals might charge a small amount x

I wasn’t allowed to use my phone and she asked if we wanted pictures. I said yes and she printed 4, then said I didnt have to pay for them x

Since when do you have to pay for scan pictures wow I’m shocked

They gave me 3 for free at St Michael's in Bristol 😊

I paid £7 for 8 photos, 4 were of the same image though to give to family. (Leeds).

Ours ( Exeter ) is done by donation. You normally get 3 pictures, the lady printed me off 6! And I’ve never felt more privileged 🤣 there’s a donation pot at the reception x

It was £20 for 6 in Teesside. She let us pick the ones we wanted then she took them to reception. I had to go to the machine and get a recipet for the £20 paid then they gave me my pictures xx

Ours printed 4 and didn’t charge - although they said they would on the letter!

Avatar

I paid £5 each and bought 3 pics, but the sonographer gave me 5. I'm in Bristol x

Avatar

She gave me 3 and told me to pay for one , I can’t remember already how much it was , under Ā£5

I was given 5 pictures and I didn’t have to pay for any of them. I did read something in the waiting room that said they legally have to provide you with any photos they have of baby for free, due to GDPR, so you could always pull that one if they try charging you šŸ˜‚ šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

I got 6 free pics at Royal berks in Reading.

Just a heads up - we got lucky that there was actually a really clear shot available but our scanner never asked if we wanted any pictures and was focusing on her measurements rather than giving us a clear view of baby so we could’ve ended up without. All we saw during the scan was individual body parts. We had a bad experience and not saying you will but may be worth asking about pictures at the start as a prompt. To be fair if there wasn’t a clear picture I would’ve demanded she scan me again for one. šŸ˜…

I’m under Kings College London. They don’t print off photos I was pre warned by a friend about this or would have been disappointed. They just asked us at the end if we wanted to take a picture on the screen and went through the best shots.

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?
