AIBU to want my married name on my scan/paperwork?

Hi all,

The story is we first went to the midwife when I was six weeks just 2 days shy of getting married (turns out a practice run was all we needed as we lol). So my green book is was completed in my maiden name. I was told this could all be changed once we got married.

We had our midwife home visit at 10 weeks and she didn't change the name. We now have our scan on Tuesday. I was looking at the letter and it says Miss Maiden name. I really want my married name to be on there the tops of the scan.

I know it's such a teeny tiny thing the most important thing about our scan is baby is ok. I've been worrying non stop about that since I fell pregnant and I hoping with every fibre of my being baby is happy and well. It just occurred to me today that I want the right surname on there. Do you think that he technician will change it? As it is my legal name.

Or am I being ridiculous I know a name is just a name and no one will notice this but me. Im just really proud to be married to my husband we waited 7 years to get married and have a baby, it's our baby and we're our own little team. This is the first memento we have and I'd like for it to be a reflection of where we are in our lives.

Katie that's fabulous news! Flowers for you and baby Cookie!

Glad the name change wasn't a faff either.
