Hello,
Thanks for your query. I am very happy to answer your concerns and question:
1. At 19 weeks your uterus is just midway below the umbilicus, so its not possible to make out you are pregnant just by seeing you.

2. your HB is normal

3. Your ultrasound seems normal.

questions:
1. please refer above answer.
2.Check out NT-nuchal translucency scan and anomaly scan, if they are normal, just relax and ENJOY your pregnancy.

I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow ups.
Wish you good health.
Regards,
Dr Arif
