Update after learning I have An Enlarged Yolk Sack

[mel134]

Just an update to my last post titled Living in Fear of a Miscarriage Again.  Thanks so much for the encouraging replies.  I don't feel as alone as I did!  As I said I had an enlarged yolk sack which I was told meant a probable miscarriage or chromosomal problems, or nothing at all!  I've been in a state if worry this whole pregnancy because of this as well as just having a miscarriage at 9 weeks months ago.  I had my 12 week ultrasound today and it showed my baby looks good- healthy heartbeat.  The yolk sack has disappeared as normal.  I just have to keep my fingers crossed that there are no abnormalities- I won't yet know this until 18 weeks which seems like an eternity away.  I do feel some relief though and I wanted to give some hope to those women who have enlarged yolk sacks and are told it means nothing but doom.  I'm truly learning what it is like to take things one day at a time!

That is wonderful. I'm glad things are looking good. Waiting is such an awful thing when it is for something so precious. Congrats and good luck with the rest of your pregnancy.

Hi .. I just happened to see your post and wanted to say congrats on a great result!  I'm pretty certain that if the baby had abnormalities, your body wouldn't have continued with the pregnancy this far

I wasn't so lucky .. I miscarried at 11.5 weeks with ourbaby measuring 10 weeks but what I hadn't known was that at the 9 week scan, there was an enlarged yolk sac of 8.7mm ..at the time, I was pretty upset that they hadn't told me that there was a potential problem, but in hindsight, I'm really glad that I was kept in the dark and wasn't stressing out with the knowledge.

I am really happy that you are one of the ones who proves doctors wrong .. I have since seen many success stories and if it happens again, and I know about it, I will have every cause to think positively!  good luck!
