Double the regular amount of amniotic fluid

Krystal

So at 33 weeks my water broke, just a slow kind of leaking. I went to the hospital and they are keeping me here until she is born.

I just had a growth ultrasound to see where she is at. They discovered I have more than double the amount of amniotic fluid than I’m supposed to have. I was also told she has something called double-bubble which means as she’s swallowing amniotic fluid it is not emptying from her stomach like it is supposed to. I was told this can be an indicator for downs syndrome. Has anyone else experienced this? What was the outcome?

Heres a picture of her from today, is she showing any markers for down syndrome or anything else?
