A member asked:
I'm 8 weeks pregnant. blood results all good. ultrasound shows active fetus but irregular yolk sac . how serious isvthis ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely serious: An abnormal yolk sac is associated with fetal death and genetic abnormalities. However, when seen on us, it is not definite. The likelihood of an abnormality is very small. You should speak to your OB to see if other tests are warranted or a follow up us.
