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…

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?

Braxton hicks

Is anyone experiencing Braxton hicks yet?
This is my third pregnancy and I’ve never experienced them before, Google says it feels like fake contractions and tighten tummy etc but honestly this feels different to any contractions I’ve had before. It’s like a pressure build up and so often a sharp pain
(I have been to triage and all is good)

Such a weird experience compared to what I was expecting it to be like

Loss of mucus plug

Im 39+2 weeks pregnant and lost my mucus plug early hours but no other signs, except tightening and pressure, when will this baby start coming, as the pelvic pain is getting alot

Has anyone else had difficulty in getting an assessment at an early pregnancy unit ?

I’ve been quite worried about my pregnancy as I’m bleeding. I’ve followed local advice to get a doctor’s referral to the unit however I have been waiting a couple of hours for a callback from my doctor to say they’ve made the referral. In the interim I’ve managed to get a referral from nhs 111. However my local unit won’t accept this and will only see me with a doctors referral. The lady I spoke to on the phone really hit a sensitive nerve too in how dismissive she was when I said I’d been referred by nhs 111. They won’t even speak to me on the phone until the gp has done so first.

Not sure what I can do now except for wait for my gp to phone me back. Has anyone else experienced this?
