I had my first sonogram at20weeks and1day. The doctor said that
>they were not able to see a stomach bubble. He said that "the fluid

I wouldn't worry too much about it.. If your doctor didn't seem alarmed then you shouldn't be either.. Just relax..Every baby developes different. I know I know..Alot easier said than done.. If it were me i'd be going crazy too! It's alot easier to be rational when it's not you. Guess I wasn't much help.

How your Dr. Reacts is how you should react. If you're Dr. Was very concerned, he/she'd have you in there every week checking things out. Just wait until your next appt. You'll be fine.

Good luck and please let us know
