It will be fine dont worry. They might just have to press a little harder with the scanner thing to get a clear enough picture but thats all. Your midwife should be able to answer any of your questions about how your weight might affect your pregnancy but ive read lotsa stories with other ladies being overweight and not having any problems :) she should of already advised on these things anyway x

My bmi was 32 at my scan and picture was clear. I did drink a lot of water though.
