Being plus size and having a scan

Brittany

Okay so I’m plus size and I feel insecure as it is, with my bump I’m practically a whale. Whenever I go to my appointments everyone’s friendly accept the sonographers (the people that do the scans) well to me they aren’t that friendly. I try small talk, I’m well mannered, always greet with a smile but these ladies seem to be just so blahhhh.

Then they’re constantly telling me that they can only do what they can due to my bmi being so high which of course I know it’s hard I’m constantly apologising to every healthcare professional anyway maybe I’m just being paranoid but does anyone else get a weird feeling whenever you have scans like a feeling of being crappy especially being plus size?
