A fetus sac without a baby is referred to as a "blighted ovum" or an "anembryonic pregnancy." This occurs when a fertilized egg implants in the uterus but does not develop into an embryo. The gestational sac continues to grow, but the absence of an embryo typically leads to miscarriage. It is a common cause of early pregnancy loss.

What is the bag of water when you are pregnant?

When a woman becomes pregnant and the fertilized egg attaches to the uterine wall, the egg is surrounded by a balloon-type bag called the amniotic sac. The sac is a strong material but can be damaged-- example, in a major traffic accident. Amniotic fluid within the sac surrounds the fetus in a special fluid environment in which the fetus can grow. It is a self-contained sac, until the sac breaks just before delivery or is broken by a doctor to hasten labor. The sac expands during the full 9 months, enlarging as the fetus grows. It cushions the baby from most low-impact activities - example, walking. It also protects the fetus from external infections, giving the fetus the best opportunity to thrive.

Inside of your belly is a umbilical cord going to your embriotic sac (the thing the baby is in) from the placenta. The placenta takes some of the nutrients from your blood and passes it through the cord to your baby. This is why your baby eats what you eat, and is why you can't smoke or drink without risk of harming it.
