Now I am 18 weeks 1 day pregnant. My belly is not as much big now but my GP told to take NT scan. I took that scan when I am 15 weeks. The result of the scan is everything normal the nuchal translucency measure is also normal. But why belly is not big enough that's my doubt. What I thought is my baby's growth is normal or not.

I think that you need to change your doctor. He is advising you to go in for NT scan which is done between 11 weeks to 13 weeks 6 days of pregnancy. At 18 weeks, there is not much protusion of belly. It will anyways be visible at 6 months of pregnancy. At 18 weeks, we get Level -2 scan done to look for any gross congenital malformations in the baby. Go for this scan.
