15 Weeks Pregnant. Ultrasound Shows Black Spots On Babies Bowels, Less Amniotic Fluid. Meconium?
hello I am 15 weeks pregnant and I just had my first ultrasound . My results showed black spots on the baby s bowels. I was also told that my baby measured small and I have a less than normal amount of amniotic fluid . I am getting another ultrasound in 2 weeks but I need to know what the black spots mean...is it meconium? Please help worried sick!

Hi, welcome to HCM.
There could be anything in bowel like black spots. It could be anything but it is just a finding at age 15 weeks. Meconium formation starts in 3rd trimester. Also just a less amniotic fluid is not a appropriate finding. They must mention AFI corresponding to gestational age.
I think there is no serious conditions at present. However follow up 8s very necessary.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
