Hi,
Thanks for choosing healthcaremagic.
In the sonogram, a bubble appears as a black rounded region. In case of the fetus, we can see the nasal bone clearly which is white in appearance so probably behind it there was a rounded black spot seen. Most likely, it should not be significant as some amniotic fluid enters the nasal cavity and can give that appearance. So I don't think you should be concerned about it.
At 28 weeks, the baby is seen pretty clearly, so there should not be much doubt about it. Please don't be worried/concerned about it.
Hope it sorts your problem.
Regards,
Dr. Pankaj Nagori
