two sacs but only one baby

I'm 8 weeks and 5 days, due date 24th Feb:) I had a scan yesterday and I'm so relieved to see the babys heart beating away because I had a miscarriage three months ago and I haven't been able to enjoy my pregnancy up until now ... There are on the screen was a second sac but the Dr couldn't find the baby , she thinks it never started to develop. Has anybody experienced this or experiencing this ?

I had another scan yesterday and you were right the second sac is a lot smaller than baby and is getting absorbed into the wall. So pleased to see baby moving around , it was amazing ...

Looks like you have a vanishing twin.  I read that 20% of twins "vanish".
Congrats on seeing the h/b!!!
