Limited OB Ultrasound
Confirm the viability of your pregnancy to help you understand your next best steps.
Why Do I Need an Ultrasound?
An ultrasound helps confirm several things you need to know before moving forward with your pregnancy decision.
- How far along am I?
- Does my pregnancy appear viable?
- Is my pregnancy developing in my uterus?
If you are considering an abortion, an ultrasound can help you determine pregnancy viability and how far along you are which impacts what abortion procedures are options.
What is a Limited OB Ultrasound?
A limited OB ultrasound is a safe and painless procedure that uses sound waves transmitted into your stomach to get a picture of your pregnancy. These pictures will verify if your pregnancy is alive, if it is in the proper location in your uterus, and will confirm the age of your pregnancy. This information will be very important as you consider all of your pregnancy options.
What is Pregnancy Viability?
A viable pregnancy means the pregnancy has a heartbeat, is in the right location, and is growing at an expected rate. An ultrasound can confirm viability and rule out a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. Both of these are non-viable pregnancies which require medical attention and an abortion is not needed.
What is Gestational Age?
Gestational age is how many weeks pregnant you are. Knowing how far along you are helps determine what pregnancy options you have, especially if you are considering abortion.
Why Should I Have an Ultrasound Before an Abortion?
Almost 1 in 5 pregnancies end in natural miscarriages. Even if you’ve already had a positive pregnancy test, you might not need an abortion. Having an abortion without an ultrasound can also mean risking an ectopic pregnancy (a life-threatening condition) or an incomplete abortion. An ultrasound can confirm your pregnancy is viable.
