I am! I'm definitely a plus size lady! Don't worry hun, she may have to press a bit harder but you'll get a great pic! I am larger than you and had great pics all the way through even at a 7/8 week one last time.

Hey lady! I have a bit of a tummy, my weight's gone up and down over the years but I've never ever been flat tummied in my life- but it's at it's worst at the moment (it was before I got pregnant)...they wrote on my scan notes that the picture was "harder to see due to patient's increased BMI) (I'm only a size 14?!?) yet a lot of people have looked at the scan photo and told me that I'm extremely lucky to have "such an amazingly clear picture"....so who knows?? either way you will see your baby!

hello laydees

yup, another plus size lady here

I'm plus size (very plus according to my bmi!).
Had my scan today (14W+2) and could see everything just fine.
She did press down harder or my fattier areas but could still see the baby clearly.

They did put in my notes about difficulty scanning due to maternal something or other but I suspect thats more to cover their rears incase I complain about any unforseen problems later down the line that they should/could have picked up!

Don't worry chuck, you'll be fine!!
