Too big for a gender scan?

Question

I am probably being paranoid but can anyone reassure me about gender scans at 16 weeks for plus sized girls? I’m 5’8 and around 240lb. There’s been no issues with scans so far but for some reason I’m stressed about them not being able to tell the gender of the baby because I’m bigger. Worried I have to be further along because of my size. Anyone give me any reassurance?

Answer

I was almost exactly 300 lbs when I had mine lol. your good

Answer

I was about 205 for my gender scan and they were able to get an image just fine! they had to press a little harder with the wand but other than that it went fine! only problem with mine was that the little booger had her legs smushed together so they had me roll over every which way 😂
