it looks like there is a bottom right one..and a top one..and then she focuses on a bottom left and top one? does anyone else see this..is it just the angle..it was an internal one obviously since Im so early...

I swear it looks like 3 seperate sacs but she only focused on two? pic attached to try and explain what I see....starts at around 9 secs in the video..pay close attention then and to the next 15-20 secs after that...

Looks like just two to me

It's all about the angle. Moving the wand just a bit can make it appear like everything has been flipped and rearranged. During my 12w scan, it looked like one of the babies flipped in the middle of the US, and when I pointed it out, the sonographer told me that it was just her moving the wand to the other side.

I can see why you would be paranoid... I am no expert though...

in the pic you have labeled c.. do you think this is a different sac than that in the first pic? or that there are 2 sacs there? i see 1 sac in that pic (with a nice yolk sac inside). but it can be super hard to tell where people are scanning and going when you aren't "driving" the probe so to speak. i still get confused when i scan myself and have to remind myself which way the probe is facing, which side etc. i can have the probe way on the left and be mostly looking at the boy on the right depending on the angle etc. but they wouldnt have NOT told you if there were 3

well after looking at a few triplet scans...like the videos...there is one where they only see two and then the tech is focusing for something and notices a third..its in the same sac as one of the others but unless you lose focus of the others you cant see it...so on mine its like there were 3 diff babies but if you focus on two you lose the other one...but thats just what it looks like..in that pic Im saying that right at first you see what I would call A and B..but then she switches focus and stays on A and what looks like another baby altogether..C....

I see it too. Not that I'm a twin mummy xx

haha thanks MrsA lol..

so you are saying you see 2 sacs in the pic with c? sorry im not trying to be difficult just clarify. the pic labeled C has only 1 sac in it. Depending on which way they turn the probe you can see one or both sacs at a time. from 9 sec on she is focusing on only 1 sac.. the thing to the bottom corner does not really look like a sac... but it isnt well focused on. On the 3d sweep at the end there is something at the very end that looks a bit like a sac but it looks ill defined and without normal internal complexity, yolk sac etc (1:22-1:23) Call and ask them what they thought but i only see 2 well defined gestational sacs with fetal poles.

haha no not two in the C pic..lol..ummm...I'll make a video at home of me pointing out what I see on the US scan and post a link to that later lol..that might help more than pics..lol..
