And what does it do for the baby? I haven't been able to find anything online that explains it well.
I could be way off here but I think it provides nutrients to the baby until the placenta takes over. Again, I could be way off.
Hmmm...ok, thanks! So it should only be seen on a sonogram until maybe the 1st trimester is over?
When I went to my sono at 6 week/4 days the technician pointed out the yolk sac and the baby. It all look like a beating lobster claw! I was hysterical laughing because I'm from Maine and my BIL keeps teasing that we're having a 'lobster' baby. I couldn't wait to show him the picture so he could get a laugh!
I am not sure exactly how long it can be seen on a sonogram.
