Finally im pregnant! now im worried about plus size pregnancy!?

[Natalie D]

Me and my fella have been TTC since Jan and after a misscarriage in june i have finally got my BFP!!! Now what i want to know is how far along were you all when you went to the doctors>? what did they do? and also i am worried that they might not be able to do the ultrasound scans easily because i am a plus size (UK size 18/20) has anyone else had these thoughts and it turned to be all fine. i would be so embarrased if they could not get my baby on the scan,.

Don't worry about it. I was a 16/18 when i fell pregnant and was also worried about my size but the ultrasounds were fine, no probs at all. Your only concern may be if your BMI is over 30 you will automatically be class as a 'high risk pregnancy' so you have to have a quite closely monitored labour and delivery.

I know a woman who was a size 26 when she fell pregnant so if they can do her scans ok, you will be fine.

I went to the midwife with this pregnancy at 8 weeks. That was when they preferred to see me. Some docs will wait until 12 weeks and some will allow you to make your appt. right away. Either way, it all works out in the end. Don't worry about the ultrasound. They will still be able to see your baby. Best of luck with your pregnancy and congratulations!!
