First pregnancy
So this is my first pregnancy I have a high bmi of 47 and I’m petrified my weight is going to affect my pregnancy I’m only 5 weeks but scared that they won’t be able to see baby on scans as I carry most of my weight on my lower belly

Being overweight will not affect for your scans! The only issue is if baby is in awkward position. I've been overweight all my life, and had 3 natural and trouble free pregnancies. I'm not trying for #4 at 43. Good luck
I have a BMi of 47 and have just given birth to my baby boy 💙 I had a good pregnancy with hardly any complications- sickness and nausea from beginning to end was absolutely terrible! I had many scans including growth scans and 4d scans with no problems unless the baby was being stubborn and in a terrible position!
Thanks Everyone, gave me some reassurance ❤️

My BMI is high and I have just had my second baby. Both pregnancies have had no issues and never had any issues having a scan. Any issues I had with a scan was because of my girls being in awkward positions. Being overweight doesn’t always mean you’ll have a bad pregnancy.
