Plus size scans?

Is anybody else plus size and been worrying about scans?! Or have experience with being plus size and scans. I have my 12 week scan on Thursday and I keep worrying that they won’t be able to “find” the baby and that I will be shamed for being overweight and having a big tummy, sounds really pathetic I know when I should be delighted to be carrying but I can’t help but worry!

Can you private message me? I can show you my scan pictures! :) I had the exact same worries

I’m on the bigger side and never had a problem. Although on every scan report it does state scan technically difficult. I took this to mean extra layers they had to manoeuvre. I was never made to feel shamed for being bigger either x

I’m plus sized and have never had a problem with any scans. Sometimes they just asked me to move position or had to press a little harder but it was absolutely fine. It’s a completely normal to worry to have but I promise you won’t care when you get in the room and see your little babe on the screen ☺️

I'm plus size and never had any problems with them being able to find baby on scans or treating me unfairly. Rather than measuring my bump I was offered growth scans, I hardly had a visible bump though even though my LO was 6lb 7oz.

From my past experience they just push damn fking harder cause of the extra tummy which makes it harder for watching the screen and listening to what they are talking about. Really took away from my experience. Could be totally different though but that's what I thought x (or she was just being a bish).😂
