Baby scan shows baby has big tummy

Hi, I was told that my baby's tummy is slightly bigger than usual. And the doctors asked if I did any downsyndrome test, which I did not. I am currently 33weeks pregnant. Any of you guys ever been told that your ultrascan shows that baby's tummy is bigger than usual? I'm googling and the answers are all over the place. #firstbaby #1stimemom #1stpregnnt #advicepls #1stbaby

I had that too when i went for my 32 weeks scan. However, the doctor was able to see the nose clearly and rule out down syndrome. I was in the high risk. But alhamdulillah, baby is fine.

hi mummy! did your doctor checked for the nasal bone? i think that's the clear marker. my baby too have a big tummy but doctor said he is just on the bigger side

Did your doctor give any advise on this? you better contact and ask from him . he is the one who can clearly explain you about this.
