What Will I Learn From an Ultrasound?
An ultrasound provides real-time information about your pregnancy. It answers three essential questions.
Is the Pregnancy Developing or Have I Miscarried?
Experts estimate that as many as 26% of all pregnancies end in a miscarriage, and most of those occur in the first trimester. Because it takes a woman’s body time to return to pre-pregnancy hormone levels, it is possible to get a positive pregnancy test result, but no longer be pregnant.
Signs of a miscarriage are not always obvious, which makes an ultrasound so essential.
Is the Pregnancy Located Correctly?
Most pregnancies implant and develop in the uterus, but there is a possibility that they can implant in other locations. When a pregnancy implants outside the uterus, it is called an ectopic pregnancy.
An ectopic pregnancy is extremely dangerous, even life-threatening. Once diagnosed, it’s critical that you visit your healthcare provider.
How Far Along Am I?
Many women find they have miscalculated the number of weeks of pregnancy. If you are considering abortion, how far along you are in your pregnancy determines the method an abortion provider uses.
The FDA approves the use of the drugs for the abortion pill method through 10 weeks of pregnancy only. The further along you are, the less effective the drugs are.
