From: kvicky on 6 Jul 2007 13:59 I had a 20 weeks ultrasound done and the tech didn't find a bubble in baby's stomach, she has written maybe due to technical reasons. So I have another one scheduled at 23rd week, doctor says not to worry till the next ultrasound. Has anybody had this experience before and were they able to find the stomach bubble in the next ultrasound, please reply. I am scared to death and not able to concentrate at my work. My baby seems to be very active as I can feel her kicks. Thanks

Did they measure it during the ultrasound? If you are comfortable sharing the details, please post exactly what the ultrasound report says. That would help us understand your situation better. Do you want leads to relevant medical papers? > My baby seems to be very active as I can feel her kicks. That is good!

No uterus or adnexal abnormalities are seen. Cervical length is measured at 4 cm. The STOMACH also does not appear as sonolucent as usual. We suspect there is some type of technical reason for this . Recommend follow-up fetal evaluation of the above parts of the anatomy after 2 or 3 weeks. This was from my ultrasound.

For what it's worth, there have been several here before you with the same question. Here's a link to search this newsgroup for "ultrasound stomach": http://groups.google.com/group/misc.kids.pregnancy/search?group=misc.kids.pregnancy&q=ultrasound+stomach&qt_g=Search+this+group Read the threads in which those posts occur, and check for other posts by the posters who asked this question (let us know if you need help figuring out how to do that). You will find much useful information there. Hang in there! I know it is hard to do, but try to suspend your feelings about this. It is much too soon to fear the worst, too soon even to take action.

All good. > The STOMACH also does not appear as sonolucent as > usual. We suspect there is some type of technical reason for this . This seems to say they did see the stomach and it was normal size; its contents (normally amniotic fluid) don't look exactly normal. Why do you think the US tech saw no "stomach bubble"? For what it's worth, US can have "noise" that appears as gray or white spots or streaks in areas that should appear black. To me, this looks like no big deal. Can you call the clinic and ask questions about the ultrasound report, and what you thought the tech told you? You should not have to wait in fear 2-3 weeks for this! Pologirl |
