Concerning: It depends on the size of the yolk sac, but by 7 weeks, a fetal pole should be seen. It is possible that it was there but just not seen with the ultrasound, so i recommend close follow-up with your doctor and a repeat exam in 1 week.

I had my 10 week transvaginal ultrasound yesterday and my gestational sac was very tight around the baby. The walls of the sac were pressing against her on all sides except a tiny bit of room near her feet. Heart rate 180. Why is my sac so small?
