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.

What it means single live intrauterine fetus in cephalic presentation with gestational age of 20 weeks 2 day with nuchal thickness of 2.1mm bilateral nasal bones seen?

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.

If a single malformed intrauterine gestational sac with scanty perisac bleed is noted in us and fetal pole is not visualized Size of gestational sac is 126cm with 5 weeks 3 days of gestation chances?

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.
