An ultrasound is a simple and effective way to gain important information about your pregnancy and can provide clarity, helping you make informed decisions about your next steps.
How Does Ultrasound Work?
Ultrasound uses sound waves to create an image of your uterus and pregnancy. During the procedure, a small transducer is placed on your abdomen or inside the vagina to send sound waves into your body. These waves bounce back, creating a real-time image that shows your baby’s development. Ultrasounds are non-invasive and completely safe for both you and your baby.
Why Is an Ultrasound Important Before Making Decisions?
Before making any pregnancy decision, it’s essential to get an ultrasound. Here’s what you’ll learn:
Your Pregnancy’s Viability
An ultrasound can determine if your pregnancy is viable, meaning it is progressing normally and that you haven’t miscarried. If you have, you will need medical follow-up to ensure you don’t face complications.
Your Pregnancy’s Gestational Age
Knowing how far along you are is crucial, especially if you’re considering abortion (since certain abortion options, like medical abortion, are only FDA-approved if your pregnancy is 10 weeks gestation or under).
Your Pregnancy’s Location
An ultrasound can detect if the pregnancy is located outside the uterus, such as in the fallopian tubes. This is a life-threatening emergency and requires immediate medical attention.
