Gain Insight Into Your Pregnancy
An ultrasound uses sound waves that bounce off your body’s internal structures and form images on a screen. This scan monitors your pregnancy’s growth and development and can detect specific issues requiring further attention.
Most women have two ultrasounds during pregnancy, though your healthcare provider may perform more if they feel it’s necessary.
The first ultrasound is critical because it confirms the pregnancy and provides the information needed to help guide your decision. These initial results will allow you to take charge of your pregnancy and health.
At this ultrasound, you will learn the following:
Location
Knowing where your pregnancy is located is an important detail. Pregnancies should develop in the uterus, but some women experience a condition called ectopic pregnancy.
With an ectopic pregnancy, the fertilized egg implants in a location other than the uterus (such as the fallopian tube or cervix etc). This condition can become life-threatening and requires immediate medical intervention as an ectopic pregnancy will not resolve on its own.
Gestational Age
Knowing how far along you are is vital to understanding your options. For example, medical abortion is only FDA-approved through 10 weeks gestation.
An ultrasound can also provide a due date if you choose to continue your pregnancy, helping you to determine the next steps.
Viability
Whether your pregnancy is viable means it is progressing and has a heartbeat. As many as 26% of all pregnancies end in natural miscarriage.
A viable pregnancy means a heartbeat is detected, and you haven’t had a miscarriage. If the pregnancy isn’t viable due to miscarriage, your body will likely expel the pregnancy naturally.
An ultrasound can detect a miscarriage and help you learn the next steps. This scan is crucial to protecting your health.
