The gestational sac is small compared to the gestational age, what should I do?

Ask
Hello doctor. My wife (born in 1991) is currently pregnant at 8 weeks. When I took my wife for an ultrasound, the results were as follows: The size of the fetus is 22mm, the size of the gestational sac is 22x28mm, concluding, “The gestational sac is smaller than the gestational sac. gestational age". The doctor asked me the reason why the gestational sac is smaller than the gestational age, how to fix it and how this problem affects the fetus. I hope you can give me some advice, thanks.

Hello. Your wife is 8 weeks pregnant, ultrasound concluded that the gestational sac is smaller than the gestational age. This may be a bad sign, but you should follow up after 1 week of ultrasound to check again. If the embryo is good, it will grow to the right size for your gestational age.
If you still have any questions, you can take your wife to visit the hospitals of Vinmec Health System nationwide to be consulted more carefully by qualified and experienced doctors. Wishing your wife a healthy and safe pregnancy!
