I can't imagine any reason for her not to tell you if she saw 2 sacs, so I think you're probably mistaken. Scan photos are confusing unless you know what you're looking at.

Yea, your not wrong there has really boggled me,

At 9 weeks they should have been able to pick out 2 easily. They identified and numbered mine at 6 weeks!

Cant get onto your pics.

I had a scan at 5 weeks and there appeared to be two sacs but the sonographer assured me that the other was a yolk sac or something? When does that disappear?

Oops sorry for double post!

foxybingodotcom · 24/05/2013 10:45

Is it the placenta?

Hadagutsful · 24/05/2013 10:46

Ah ok. Not sure then. Take it along to your next appointment or give your midwife a call? No point sitting round confused! Smile (And congrats on your pregnancy btw!)

At nine weeks you can probably see the baby's head and abdomen, which may look like two sacs, a bit like this picture.

Carley159 · 24/05/2013 10:49

You haven't made your profile/photos visible.

Yolk dissapears when placenta takes over, it normally should still be there at 9wks as placenta doesn't take over till 12wks. definatly doesn't go at 5wks. At 5+4 only thing I had visible was a sac. Then at 7+2 had a sac a yolk and a baby. I had 2 what looked like sacs, 1 was a sac the other was fluid.

Carley159 · 24/05/2013 10:52

No it's not like that picture, how did you get it to link like that x

You need to make your profile public.

MisselthwaiteManor · 24/05/2013 10:56

Is it just a big black empty space? It could be your bladder.

Carley159 · 24/05/2013 10:57

All done should be able to see it now x
