baby's hand? HELP!!!

Question

Okay so I'm kind of freaking out and I need someone's opinion. I had an ultrasound a couple month ago and my babies hand was near his face, like he was sucking his thumb or whatever and I thought it was cute. But I just had another ultrasound yesterday and his hand was in the exact same spot. Is my babies hand stuck to his head or does he just like sucking his thumb in the womb? Also the ultrasound lady discovered a fat roll on the back of his neck, &I looked online and it said it could be a case of down syndrome...? Has anyone ever experienced something like this? I'm like freaking out right now, I'm a first time mom and don't know what to expect. Please help me!!!!

You're amazing. Thank you :) I really hope you're right!

That's understandable. But you're young, and I'm sure you're very healthy, as long as you stay away from drugs, alcohol, and negative energy, your baby will be the happiest and healthiest baby ever.

Thank you, I know I will love my child whatever the outcome, but I just want to be prepared for the worst.

Don't worry, my mom had a test done for down syndrome for my sister and it came back positive. When she was born, she was perfectly fine. Thumb sucking is very normal, but I'm sure your baby is perfectly fine.

Thumb sucking is normal......on Tuesday ask your doctor about the fat roll, if there is a potential problem only he can discuss it not the U/S tech. However if it was serious she would have likely called in the Dr right away to talk to you. You should be OK....

At each and Every ultrasound I had..and I had. Plenty ..my baby girl always had her hand by her face as well as her foot..I would not be too concerned.  Talk to your doctor and he should put your mind at ease.

At my baby's ultrasound she was sucking her thumb...I wasnt concerned and neither was the tech who did my ultrasound screening for downs. Also blood work came back negative for me and my child...they say each women and pregnancy is different . But yeah hope that eases your mind

This Monday I will be 32 weeks pregnant, so I don't know if its too late to have the screening done? &I hope its just he likes his thumb, I'm so worried that my baby isn't going to come out right... :'(

They have a lot of blood tests to check for disabilities.  So if u didn't get them I would ask ur doc.  As for the hand I'm not sure but iv heard it's pretty normal for them to suck their thumbs alot.
