I went to the doctor the other day (1st appointment) and they did an ultrasound. The baby is developing right on schedule with my cycle and it actually looks like a baby! But, off to the side is an undeveloped egg...YIKES! It could have been twins! I'm just curious if anyone else has had this and what happened with it? Also, why wouldn't this blob be the placenta? Does that not show up in the ultrasound?

Had the same experience with my first ultrasound at 8 weeks, the technician pointed that out as the yolk sac that gives nutrition until the placenta takes over.
