What Does Low Lying Gestational Sac During Pregnancy Mean?
Hello. I am 6/7 weeks pregnant. I have had a few days of spotting brown blood. And some mild cramping. I went to the er and they didnt seem to concerned after testing. Although in my discharge papers it says I have a low lying gestational sac. They never told me nor did they explain. What does this mean? Since I was at the er I have not bled anymore but I still have slight cramping from time to time.

if implantation occurs in places other than fundus it is called low lying implantation probably near the cervix
the following link gives a picture of implantation other than fundus

just observe for bleeding
some gynaecologists give progesterone support in such a situation
hope this information was useful
