An empty sac during pregnancy can be caused by a blighted ovum, where a fertilized egg implants in the uterus but doesn't develop into an embryo. It can also be due to early pregnancy loss or an incorrect estimation of gestational age. A healthcare provider can help determine the cause and provide appropriate guidance.

What does an empty amniotic sac mean?

What is a Blighted Ovum (Empty Gestational Sac)? A blighted ovum (empty gestational sac) occurs when a fertilized egg implants into the uterine wall, however, the fetus does not continue to develop past the sixth to eighth week of gestation. There is continued development of the placenta and amniotic sac which produces hCG (giving the positive pregnancy test). Most women either do not know they are pregnant or find out within the first trimester that they have a blighted ovum (empty gestational sac).

Why does your dog keep rubbing his butt up and down on your couch?

He is either scenting where he sleeps or is trying to empty his anal sac. Anal sac is positioned just inside his anus and fills with a liquid. It should empty during bowl movement but if not the dog will try to empty it himself by rubbing his bum along the floor or anywhere else he sees fit! You can empty the sac yourself but it's not a nice smell! Go see your vet.
