Possible missed triplet or just ultrasound confusion?

If you pay attention at 9secs and then for the following about 15-20 seconds...right when she popped the internal thing in you can see two sacs....both with what appear to be babies..a lower right sac and then an upper sac...and then she refocuses and you see the same upper sac but then a lower left sac ... is it just something with the US that makes it look like that or does it seem like there were 3 babies instead of just the 2 we focused on?  is it possible to miss  triplet?  this was at 7 weeks and was my first scan

  • I am certainly no expert, but I only see two.

  • lol..thanks..
  • I think I know what it is that you are looking at that you think could be a possible third.  If it is what I am seeing also, I feel like that area is not as "defined" as the other two.  It doesn't have clean round edges and isn't as clear in the middle.  Not enough to possibly be a third baby.  If any of that makes sense. 

    This is what my trips looked like when I had three still.

    ETA: all three of mine were very easily visible at 7 weeks.  That said, they were all small enough to fit into the screen together.  As they get bigger, they can't all fit into the screen together.

  • yeah it just seemed like 3 separate sacs to me and like each one had something in it but like one was almost behind the others because when she got two in focus the other disappeared
  • I am not saying it isn't possible, just that I don't see it.  I hope the best for you!  I hope that it turns out whichever way you are hoping.

  • thanks..well we were surprised since it was a NTNP pregnancy..with LO I was on clomid and thought of all times to have twins or whatever it would have been then but this was on nothing and I have PCOS although the tech said my ovaries looked better and both eggs came from one side it seemed like...triplets would be a huge surprise
  • Yeah, I see what you're talking about, but it doesn't look like another baby. I would just trust the u/s tech in this case.

    Here's my 7w3d ultrasound when we found out. This is how big three babies in one sac would look.

  • I have a picture from my 7 week scan with two babies/sack and a overy that looks about the same size as the sacks but with out babies. I totally freaked out when it was on the screen and the doctor goes "Oh yeah, moms usually freak out but don't worry, not a missing  baby." So hopefully you're in the same situation.
