The amnion and the chorion are the two layers of the "bag of waters." What this means is that there are two babies (identical twins) in one sac. This is pretty rare and complications often arise. Usually twin babies do not share both sets of membranes. Fraternal twins never share a sac, and identical twins only do sometimes and then it is usually only the outer layer that they share. They still have separate inner sacs. In this case the babies are in the same bag of waters without the inner membrane separating them.
A single live fetal pole is referring to the baby in the stage when it is first visible inside the gestational sac. As for the intrauterine gestational sac, that is means the pregnancy is seen within the uterus and is not ectopic.
I believe it means that they have only seen one sac--as in one embryo...not twins.
gestational diabetes is what it's called
DefinitionSmall for gestational age (SGA) means a fetus or infant is smaller in size than normal for the baby's gender and gestational age.Alternative NamesLow birth weightInformationUltrasound is used to find out if a fetus is smaller-than-normal for age (intrauterine growth restriction). The most widely used definition of SGA is birth weight below the 10th percentile.A fetus with intrauterine growth restriction will be small in size and can have problems such as:Increased red blood cells (polycythemia)Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)Low body temperature (hypothermia)ReferencesBaschat AA, Galan HL, Ross MG, Gabbe SG. Intrauterine growth restriction. In: Gabbe SG, Niebyl JR, Simpson JL, eds. Obstetrics: Normal and Problem Pregnancies. 5th ed. Philadelphia, Pa: Elsevier Churchill Livingstone; 2007:chap 29.
The gestational diabetes diet if for pregnant patients that are diagnosed with gestational diabetes. If you have gestational diabetes, your obstetrician will generally direct you with a nutritionist who will educate you on the proper diet for your condition.
If you blood work is positive , give it a couple more weeks .
If having diabetes in pregnancy, then the chances of having gestational diabetes in the next pregnancy is high as compared to other without gestational diabetes.But many who had gestational diabetes in one pregnancy had give up baby without gestational diabetes in their next pregnancy.
Absolutely! If you are a gestational surrogate your eggs are not used.
A single live intrauterine fetus in cephalic presentation at 20 weeks and 2 days gestational age indicates that there is one viable fetus positioned head-down in the uterus. The nuchal thickness of 2.1 mm is within the normal range, suggesting a lower risk for chromosomal abnormalities, while the visibility of bilateral nasal bones is a positive sign, as their presence is often associated with a reduced risk for conditions like Down syndrome. Overall, these findings suggest a healthy developing fetus at this stage of pregnancy.

LGA- large for gestational age SGA- small for gestational age
The likelihood of a viable pregnancy is uncertain in this situation as the fetal pole should normally be visualized at this stage. Further monitoring with repeat ultrasounds and testing of hCG levels may be needed to assess the progression of the pregnancy. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a more comprehensive evaluation.
