Not so good news...i think
So everyone I had my first scan today. He said it is definitely in tact but measruing a little small. has anyone had this happen and have a healthy baby??? hoping for good news
Ok, well, I think you are ok. Let me know when you have your next apt. Good Luck. Try, as hard as it is, not to worry too much.
Ya it was the yolk sack i was worried about. I found the same things you did. Maybe I will catch up for sure when I go back next week.
Is it the Yolk sac you are worried about? Because everything I'm finding says the problem is when the yolk sac is too big.
Yolk Sac
As the pregnancy advances, the next structure to become visible to ultrasound is the yolk sac. This is a round, sonolucent structure with a bright rim.
The yolk sac first appears during the fifth week of pregnancy and grows to be no larger than 6 mm. Yolk sacs larger than 6 mm are usually indicative of an abnormal pregnancy. Failure to identify (with transvaginal ultrasound) a yolk sac when the gestational sac has grown to 12 mm is also usually indicative of a failed pregnancy.
Yolk sacs that are moving within the gestational sac ("floating"), contain echogenic material (rather than sonolucent), or are gross misshapen are ominous findings for the pregnancy.
