If your baby is born between 34 and 36 weeks gestation, he or she is considered "late preterm. Most premature babies develop normally with no serious long-term problems.

I'm really concerned about my internal os being open in a U shape as shown in my anomaly scan. The doctors mentioned that getting a cervical stitch might be risky because the sac is already in the opening. Do you think that this opening could naturally close if I stick to bed rest for a few days? Its been stressing me out, and I would really appreciate some advice on what I should do next.

yes

I'm 7 weeks and 2 days pregnant and I just found out that the yolk sac is measuring 7.8 mm in diameter. I'm a bit worried about what this means for my pregnancy. Is this something I should be concerned about, and is there a chance the yolk sac size can return to normal?

A yolk sac diameter of 7-8 mm at 7 weeks and 2 days of pregnancy is slightly larger than expected, as the normal diameter is usually around 3-5 mm by the sixth week. This could potentially indicate a problem with the pregnancy, such as an early sign of miscarriage. However, it's essential to note that a single ultrasound measurement is not conclusive, and your healthcare provider may recommend a follow-up ultrasound to reassess the yolk sac size and check for any other signs of a healthy pregnancy. consult gynaecologist
