You mentioned the flatness between her eyes. Those with DS are actually missing a bit of bone there. I am a sonographer, and during the 20 week anatomy scan, we take a profile pic to see if that bone is there. We are also looking at the tongue, because its typically too large for the mouth, which is why many DS people are always sticking their tongue out. Its called Macroglossia. The recessed or small chin, or Micrognathia, is also prevalent in DS babies. We also take pics of the fetal heart, count bones in the fingers, check the back of the neck for fluid, and many other indicators, which might warrant further genetic testing. Knowing about Downs ahead if time can given parents time to adjust, know if the baby might need a heart specialist immediately, and if the might have to give birth at a hospital with an adequate NICU to care for their child. Its a very important exam, so I encourage all moms to be to have it. 🙂
