Ultrasound
Even if you have had a positive pregnancy test, it is important to have the test verified with an ultrasound exam. About 20% of pregnancies end naturally in miscarriage.
If the pregnancy is not progressing normally, it may end naturally. In these cases, you may not need an abortion.
An ultrasound can help answer the following questions:
- Is the pregnancy located where it should be (in the uterus verses the fallopian tube)?
- Approximately how far along are you?
- Do we see what we would expect to see in a healthy early pregnancy since the miscarriage rate in early pregnancy is about 1 in 5?
- Is there an active fetal heartbeat?
Making a decision you feel good about includes getting all the information you need. If you are considering abortion, we can provide you with an ultrasound (you will need an ultrasound prior to an abortion) free of charge.
