Bladder on ultrasound?

 Hey guys! Not an ultrasound pro, here. Does anyone know what that big ball is above the baby (right side)? I'm curious. Assuming it's my bladder, but I forgot to ask. It shows in 2/3 of the ultrasound pics I got today.

  • Just saw the fibroid comment. Hm! It does kind of look like one. I guess I'll bring my pictures into my next appointment and ask. 
  • I'm thinking anterior placenta. It looks similar to mine when I was pregnant with DD.
