    What is the normal shape of gestational sac?

    Just wondering what the normal shape of an early gestational sac is. I thought it was an oval shape but I've been googling and some say round and that oval is irregular. I looked at my scan from 5yrs ago with DD and her's was oval shaped (and she is fine)

    With Splat the sac was oval, but with Tiger and Twin they were both wonky shapes with a bit of a tail. I'm really glad I didn't know what a ''normal'' shape was or I would have worried about that as well! Tiger's 19 weeks scan showed he was perfect.

    Flickers sack was "abnormal" but eventually the shape became "normal" and Flicker has had a pretty rough start and came through it all
    I am sure everything will be fine just give it a bit more time xxoo

    With my DS the sac was round in shape, with this one it was oval in shape t the first scan and at the 9wk scan it looked like a flattish jelly bean! Very weird

    lol

    The twins I lost were round, Charlotte and this one are both oval
    Think perhaps there is no such thing, and it will also depend the ultrasound itself, they are not photographic images iykwim.
