Common Ultrasound FAQs?
Did You Know?
An ultrasound is the most reliable way to confirm a progressing pregnancy. Research shows that up to 25% of pregnancies do not advance, and miscarriages may go unnoticed until detected by an ultrasound. If a miscarriage is identified, medical follow-up is essential.
No. A positive pregnancy test at our center is required to establish you as a client. Depending on availability, you may be seen for a pregnancy test and ultrasound as a combined appointment.
If you are considering abortion as an option, your first step is to confirm pregnancy viability through an ultrasound.
An ultrasound will determine:
The gestational age of the pregnancy. This knowledge is important in determining which method of abortion you would be eligible for. Each type of abortion procedure and cost depends on your personal health history and how far your pregnancy has progressed.
Whether or not your pregnancy is viable. The best way to be 100% sure you have a viable pregnancy (a pregnancy that is progressing) is to have an ultrasound. Studies have shown that up to one in four pregnancies do not progress. Some women don’t know they’ve had a miscarriage until it is seen during an ultrasound. If you have miscarried, you may need to receive follow-up care from a doctor.
An ultrasound will confirm that the pregnancy is in the uterus. When the pregnancy is outside of the uterus, this is considered an ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancies can be life-threatening and require further medical attention.
Limited Ultrasounds Often DO:
- Check for the fetal heartbeat
- Estimate gestational age and approximate due date
- Identify the number of fetuses
- Verify the pregnancy is located in the uterus
- Advise immediate medical attention at an emergency room if indicated
Limited Ultrasounds at Birth Choice do NOT:
- Determine the sex of the baby
- Diagnose fetal abnormalities
- Substitute for prenatal care
