hi mummy! I'm a plus size too! if the doctor can't find through stomach, usually they will use the vaginal wand scanner. if you're less than 7 weeks most probably because we have too much fats on our stomach. but what helped me at my 6 weeks scan was to go for the ultrasound scan with my bladder full.. Barely can see but good enough to see the heartbeat! maybe next time try to go for ultrasound with a full bladder? (:

i’m a super plus size lady. can only see baby heartbeat near to 7weeks but using vagina scan if tummy scan only after 9weeks can see. before that all use vagina scan o 😊 don’t worry 😄

Dun worry maybe u r still v early into your pregnancy… sometimes tummy scan can’t see in the early week my gynae goes thru the vagina scan instead

usually week 7 or 8 onwards can see more clearly, too early really almost can't see.. don't worry and just take doctor advise as much as possible first

May I know which week are u at? I'm plus size pregnant mummy too. usually they will go vaginal scan for early pregnancy for accuracy.

Don think too much …. Don stress urself … I’m a plus size too ;) .. think positive.. ❤️

hi there! don't worry too much! its probably too early.. in the meanwhile, do take care!

my gynae can scan the image and capture heartbeat during 5th weeks 6days 🤔

which week are you at? likely can only see from week 7 onwards
