Once you’ve received a positive pregnancy test, an ultrasound may be your next step to clarity. An ultrasound can give you the peace of mind you need with all the pregnancy questions and concerns running through your mind.
Why is an Ultrasound Scan Important?
An ultrasound scan is an essential step after confirming your pregnancy. This scan may reveal important information about your pregnancy, including:
1. Viability: Up to 20% of pregnancies can end in natural miscarriage. An ultrasound scan can detect if that is the case for your pregnancy and help monitor whether your body is safely passing the pregnancy tissues.
2. Age: Knowing the age of your pregnancy will determine what options are available to you. For example, a medical abortion, also known as the “abortion pill,” is only recommended in the first ten weeks of pregnancy.
3. Location: The majority of pregnancies develop normally in the uterus. But there is a small risk of your pregnancy growing outside of your uterus. This complication is called an ectopic pregnancy and is a serious health risk that requires immediate medical intervention.
