9 Week Ultrasound.. Does it look normal?!

Question

Had a non-diagnostic US and Baby had a strong heart beat and was moving its little arms and legs! But why is there a black triangle at the back of the head?!

Answer

I'm not a MD but it looks like its in front of the head not actually in the head. It may be the umbilical cord. It looks like the baby has an arm to the side of it so it would be the right placement, and the blood could be the yolk sac that remains. I'm pretty sure that it's not part of your babies head, but if perchance it where.... It could be devolving brain matter. I truly think it's the umbilical cord from my own experience with fetal development knowledge.

Answer

Probably just the angle. Most babies don't look like babies until they're much further along. Wait for an ultrasound performed by your clinic and get info from a professional. Having a heartbeat is reassuring!

Answer

I dont think there's any doctors on here so any information you get will most likely be inaccurate. Ultrasounds dont always show a complete picture so it may just be the angle it was taken at or it might be a case of anencephaly which pretty much is worst case scenario. It's best to ask your doctor before you start to worry possibly for no reason. Good luck!
