A member asked:

Should we be concerned that the gestational sac is a week behind and i'm already at 9 weeks? is there a way to increase the size of the sac, ie water?

How's the baby?: If the fetal pole is the correct size I'd ignore GS measurement 100%, it's not very exact. If baby is not the correct size it's more worrisome. No, you cannot do anything to change the sac size. good wishes.
