An ultrasound is the critical next step if you recently received a positive pregnancy test result. An ultrasound provides essential information about your pregnancy and helps you make informed decisions about your pregnancy.
Read on to learn more about the benefits of getting an ultrasound early in pregnancy, or contact RealOptions Obria Medical Clinic to receive a confidential ultrasound in a safe, supportive space.
Why an Early Ultrasound Matters
While a pregnancy test confirms the presence of hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), it does not tell you everything you need to know about your pregnancy. An early ultrasound gives you key details that are vital for your health and decision-making, including:
Determining Gestational Age
One of the most important benefits of an ultrasound is confirming how far along you are. This is called your gestational age, and it is essential information whether you are considering parenting, adoption, or abortion.
Knowing your exact due date also allows you to prepare for your next steps with the right medical care and resources.
Confirming Pregnancy Location
An early ultrasound ensures that your pregnancy is developing in the uterus. In rare cases, a pregnancy can implant outside the uterus (known as an ectopic pregnancy), which can become a life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical intervention.
An ultrasound can detect ectopic pregnancies early, helping to protect your health.
Checking for Pregnancy Viability
An ultrasound can also confirm pregnancy viability, meaning the pregnancy is progressing as expected. This includes detecting a fetal heartbeat and ensuring typical development.
If your pregnancy does not appear to be progressing, this means you may be experiencing a miscarriage—and if so, you will need a thorough medical evaluation to ensure you don’t face complications.
