Extra sack on 18 week sonogram

[MamaWorld]

On the plus side, at least I get to see him twice a week starting next week
I'm 23 weeks today and his movements are getting stronger. I can lay back and watch my belly move, that's reassuring that he's growing strong

Baby is growing good. I am 23 weeks but measuring 25 weeks. I have to get an MRI next Wednesday, I guess to help the drs get a better idea of what this extra sack is and to help determine when they plan to do a c section. I also start my steroid shots next week. I'll get one Wednesday and another one Thursday.

Read through your posts! Glad he's growing strong!
I never had anything like this, but I did go into preterm labor at 28 weeks. Had SO many tests and sonograms etc. It was fun being able to see her a lot more than normal!
The shots aren't too bad and I was willing to do whatever it took to make sure my baby was safe as you are too! I know he'll be fine!

I had an MRI today and it showed that it's just a cyst
I'm so happy to finally have an answer and that it's not as bad as they thought it was. They still want to keep an eye on it so I'll be getting a sono once a week rather than twice a week. Also I didn't have to have the steroid shots

Glad to hear that is is not as serious as you thought. You can look forward to sharing the story of your unique pregnancy with the child once he is older.

It's been a while since I've been on this forum. Just want to say thank you to everyone who followed this thread. The beginning of my pregnancy was a roller coaster for me and it even had perinatal specialists in a panic. Much happier and relaxed now that we know what's going on. Baby is growing good. I'll be having a c section around 39 weeks.

So weird looking back at this. I wanted to post an update for anyone who may be reading this. After a fairly stressful pregnancy I gave birth to my healthy 8lb 10oz boy via c section. Turns out the "extra sack" was a cyst that formed in my old c section incision. They were able to remove it with no problems

Congratulations on your little boy.

I'm glad they could remove it with no problems xx
