Scan pictures not available at 12w scan- alternatives?

I had my 12w scan this morning at St Thomas’ but they said they have run out of scan paper so can’t provide photos from the appt. Obviously,our top priority is baby being healthy (and it was - v wriggly!) but I can’t help feeling a bit sad that we don’t have the strip of photos as we’ve planned to visit my family up north in 2 weeks and wanted to share them.

We had 6w scan at Fetal medical centre on Harley street which gave us the strip, but they will now only do full Nuchal at 12w which is £200, and we had a 10w scan at Hey Baby Clapham, but they gave you photos like 6x4 photo paper and I’d love the strip so it’s immediately obvious what it is, and to save for future memory book etc!

Sorry if this sounds so silly, I know it’s only a strip of photos, but has anyone else had any private scans that will do photos at 12w that doesn’t cost the full price of a detailed Nuchal scan?

Waters broke

39 weeks and after having false contractions and braxton hicks for the last week, my waters broke and don’t really feel any kind of tightening anymore. Baby is moving fine just feels strange to be leaking everywhere.
Everyone said it would be like trickling but it’s a lot of gushes that I wasn’t expecting. Is this normal for most?

6 months post partum symptom?

So not sure if this is normal and this is so embarrassing for me to talk about but every time I go toilet to do number 2 there’s always blood. Is this normal?

Braxton hicks pains

Hey all, can someone please explain to me what Brixton hicks feel like/felt like to you? I never experienced them with my first, and I’ve never experienced menstrual cramping, as I’ve had people try compare it to that.

I just felt pain that shot all around the lower and upper section of my bump and round to my back, made me throw up in pain…idk if that is a Brixton hock or something else.

I also never went into labour with my first child either…

Baby girl names

We’ve just found out we’re having a girl 💕 but really struggling with names, my first is Ellie … this time I like things like Margot, Orla, Sofia, Lottie, Sienna … can anyone think of any names that are slightly different but nothing too complicated?!
