If you’re thinking about abortion, getting an ultrasound is an essential first step. An ultrasound provides key information about your pregnancy—information you need before making a decision.
At the Pregnancy Help Center, we may be able to offer you a free ultrasound after a positive pregnancy confirmation so you can better understand what’s happening with your pregnancy and what options are available to you.
What Can an Ultrasound Tell You?
Ultrasound uses sound waves to create images that show what’s going on inside your body. If you’re unsure whether to continue your pregnancy, here are three critical reasons why an ultrasound matters:
1. It Confirms Where the Pregnancy Is Located
Sometimes, a pregnancy develops outside the uterus, most often in a fallopian tube. This is called an ectopic pregnancy, and it can be life-threatening if not diagnosed quickly.
Even if you’re considering abortion, it’s important to know whether your pregnancy is ectopic, because the abortion pill will not treat it. An ultrasound can confirm the pregnancy’s location and help protect your well-being.
2. It Tells You How Far Along You Are
How far along you are determines what abortion options may be available. For example, the abortion pill is only approved for use up to 10 weeks from the start of your last period.
While tracking apps can estimate your due date, they aren’t as accurate as an ultrasound. An ultrasound at the Pregnancy Help Center can give you a more precise answer.
3. It Checks if the Pregnancy Is Viable
Some pregnancies end on their own through miscarriage. An ultrasound can help determine whether your pregnancy is developing as expected or if you’ve already miscarried.
