is this twins ??

6week ultra sound. This is my SIL ultrasound and i have never seen one that looks like this. I have been pregnant 5 times and none of my ultrasounds loook like this. I know ones a baby and the other is a yolk sac but is that a baby? I dont get it lol

The upper "dot" is the embryo and the lower "dot" is the yolk sac. I only see one baby!

My twins did not look like that but then again they are fraternal (two sacks)

Quoting Wanted: #2:" The upper "dot" is the embryo and the lower "dot" is the yolk sac. I only see one baby!"

 

Exactly what I was about to say.

Idt that's twins. Looks like yolk sac and baby to me.

lol ok I guess no twins for her, good thing tho she couldn't handle 2 ;)

It is the first element seen in the gestational sac during pregnancy, usually at 5 weeks gestation. It is a critical landmark, identifying a true gestation sac. It is reliably seen early in human pregnancy using ultrasound.
The yolk sac is situated on the ventral aspect of the embryo; it is lined by extra-embryonic endoderm, outside of which is a layer of extra-embryonic mesenchyme, derived from the mesoderm.
Blood is conveyed to the wall of the sac by the primitive aorta, and after circulating through a wide-meshed capillary plexus, is returned by the vitelline veins to the tubular heart of the embryo. This constitutes the vitelline circulation, and by means of it nutritive material is absorbed from the yolk sac and conveyed to the embryo.
At the end of the fourth week the yolk sac presents the appearance of a small pear-shaped vesicle (umbilical vesicle) opening into the digestive tube by a long narrow tube, the vitelline duct.
The vesicle can be seen in the afterbirth as a small, somewhat oval-shaped body whose diameter varies from 1 mm. to 5 mm.; it is situated between the amnion and the chorion and may lie on or at a varying distance from the placenta.
As a rule the duct undergoes complete obliteration during the seventh week, but in about two percent of cases its proximal part persists as a diverticulum from the small intestine, Meckel's diverticulum, which is situated about 60 cm proximal to the ileocecal valve, and may be attached by a fibrous cord to the abdominal wall at the umbilicus.
Sometimes a narrowing of the lumen of the ileum is seen opposite the site of attachment of the duct.

The yolk sac is below embry. Very easy to distinguish- the lining of cells on the outside are white and appear as a density on the film. Areas that are black, such as the inside of the yolk sac are generally fluid filled structures.
