Hi! I so far have only had vaginal ultrasounds because I’m early (7 weeks) at my fertility specialist. I was reading abdominal ultrasounds are often impacted by being overweight. I’m 5’4”, 265lbs, and I guess just hoping someone could reassure me I’d still be able to see baby via abdominal ultrasound? Were you able to get clear pictures?
Ultrasound clarity?

This was my 9 week abdominal ultrasound! As you can see, not SUPER clear but definitely visible! Around 7 weeks it was still visible but more of a shadow where you could tell something was there but not super clear
for reference I’m 5’4 around 320 pounds

You’re a lot smaller than me, so I don’t see why you’d have too much of an issue!
@seekingthelord34 Thank you so much for sharing that, and the photo! I can definitely still see baby 
That makes me feel so much better!
