<ul>
	<li>If your doctor wants to estimate your baby&#39;s weight, one of the most important measurements the sonographer can take is abdominal circumference.</li>
	<li>This scan shows a cross-section view of the baby&#39;s belly.</li>
	<li>The small back oval is his/her stomach, and the curved black line you notice is the blood vessel that brings nutrients from the placenta.</li>
	<li>Soon, you&#39;ll have a very different way of feeding him/her!</li>
