A member asked:
My obgyn did a ultrasound and says it looks like my baby has air built up in his bowels what does this mean?

Doesn't make sense: There is no source for a fetus to acquire air in its intestines.You may want to have the ultrasound repeated by a radiologist or perinatologist with more experience in high resolution fetal studies.
