A member asked:
Could gestational sac measure small due to dehydration? the baby is measuring normal with a normal hb but the sac is measuring almost 2 weeks behind.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Dehydration does not affect the size of the gestational sac because the fluid around the developing embryo does not come from your body systems. The size of the embryo is a more reliable measure of gestational age and thus should be used when possible.
