Size 24-26?

I've got my next scan on 18th July, by which time I'll be 21 weeks.

I'm having the same "will they be able to see anything through the fat" trauma.

At least when they did my 13 week scan they could go under the flab, with this one the baby will be higher so more fat to get through :(

Tell me I'm being paranoid
 
You will be fine hun...By 21 weeks baby is a good size. I had issues at my 13 week scan and it was written on my notes cos of my weight the view was restricted. But at my 20 week scan nothing was said and could clearly see everything :)
Look forward to seeing your baby, the 20 week scan is always amazing I think xx
 
You'll be fine. I had my 20 week scan this week and I have a lot of blubber on my belly! They could see everything they needed to. They did say it was difficult but they still got it all and actually going to the sides they were able to see everything quite clearly.

One thing though, learn from my mistake. We were running late so the only chance of breakfast for me was toast. Apparently that bloated my tummy out which obscured the views!!!! Didn't know that before and certainly if I need any more scans, I won't eat bread before hand!!!!
 
I have some new pictures...I think they will work but not sure :)
12 weeks

Yeah, at my 12 week scan, I got a perfect picture. Very very clear. However, they still put on my notes the view was restricted because of "adiposity"

Hubby felt kicks for the first time this morning! woot! And yesterday morning I actually SAW my tummy jolt with kicks which was awesome! lol. The video of the kicks and latest heartbeat are in my sig link if anyone wants to see... (and yes, the midwifes hand disappears in the fat as she tries to get baby to stay still for the heartbeat... :wacko:)
 
Gorgeous bumps ladies! Love it xx

Flying duster, yay for the kicks! My son and OH are still yet to feel her kick as every time they try she goes quiet! Monkey....lol x

How are everyones backs holding up?! I'm in agony most of the time tho I had a broken tailbone 2 years back and it's never been right since but if I do anything like stand and do the ironing or put the dishes away I'm screwed, And bending down is fun!!! I know it's only going to get worse the heavier I get too :(
 
yeah, hubby has been trying to feel kicks for ages now (well, basically since I first felt them at 20 weeks!) and only JUST felt his first ones this morning... It was always a case of bub going quiet when his hand was on me (and invariably kicking JUST after he gives up and takes his hand away!) or it kicked on the other side to where he was feeling, or it only wriggled, but not enough to feel on the outside, or whatever. He's been trying every chance he could for the past MONTH and only just got it! lol.

And yeah, my back is fine so far (the odd twinge, but not much...) but bending down is getting harder and harder.... lol!!! Thankfully one of my dogs picks up things I drop if I ask her to, so that's handy (she's at work with me too, which is even more handy!) but putting shoes & socks on is getting harder too and she can't help me with that! lmao!
 
28 Week Bump!

he is a very active boy at times, I love just watching my belly move with kicks, but can't seem to get more than one at a time on camera. Mike loves feeling him kick too, he has noticed a big change between the first little kicks that we felt around 18 weeks, and 10 weeks later!

My 22 week Bumpy...I braved taking a Bare skin pic, I don't mind posting it here cos I know I won't be judged...Feel paranoid about my belly etc anyway but think it's starting to round out round the middle now and is becoming less of a B....
