What Does The Dark Part Around The Fetus Shown In Ultrasound Signify?
What is the dark part around the baby in an ultrasound? I was just curious because me and my sister are the same weeks and the dark part around my baby is much smaller than it is around hers. My yolk sac is close to my baby and hes is far away (I assume this is because she has more space around he baby than I do mine).. Just curious on why this is.
Thanks for consulting. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
do not worry about the dark spot. the baby is covered by a balloon of water which provides it a cushioning effect. literally it floats in the ball of water. the difference might be due to the angle in which the scan is taken. some times the water level may be high or low but do not worry your doctor will inform you if any thing happens.
Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.
Have a wonderful time ahead.
Best Regards! Dr. Arunmozhi varman
