at 20 weeks of pregnancy, the baby's organs are still developing. a stomach bubble means a visible sign of stomach. the baby drinks water like substance called amniotic fluid which surrounds it. if the stomach is filled with this amniotic fluid, it is visible on ultrasonography, if not then it is not clearly visible. not seeing a stomach bubble in 20 weeks is a normal sign, so relax, everything is good. a sonography scan after 28 weeks will give more clear picture of the baby's stomach
