Eight weeks pregnant gestational sac size

In medicine, many people estimate the gestational age of a pregnant woman by the size of the gestational sac. Some people also think that the gestational sac can show whether the baby is a boy or a girl. In fact, this is wrong and there is also a superstitious factor involved. The gestational sac cannot reveal the gender of the fetus. The value of the gestational sac is used to observe whether the fetus is normal in the mother's belly or whether there are any defects. This is very closely related to the mother's physique. Let’s talk about the size of the gestational sac at eight weeks of pregnancy.
