Wondering why you need an ultrasound when considering an abortion? An ultrasound is an important part of confirming vital pregnancy details before an abortion decision. It reveals key details about pregnancy and alerts you to any possible complications.
At Vie Medical Clinic, following a positive pregnancy test result, we can offer you a no-cost ultrasound so you can have all the answers to move forward confidently.
Why Ultrasounds Matter Before Abortion
Confirm How Far Along You Are
The abortion pill, also called medical abortion, is only FDA-approved for women through the first 10 weeks of pregnancy. After this time, there are increased risks involved that may lead to infection and the need for another abortion.
Confirm the Location of Your Pregnancy
The location of your pregnancy matters. An ultrasound confirms the location of your pregnancy, as an ectopic pregnancy is a real pregnancy risk to some women. Ectopic pregnancy is a non-viable pregnancy that can be dangerous and even life-threatening if not treated promptly.
Confirm the Viability of Your Pregnancy
Lastly, an ultrasound confirms your pregnancy’s viability (if your pregnancy has a heartbeat and is progressing normally). Even though you got a positive pregnancy test result, there is always a risk of miscarriage. Ultrasounds will alert you to a possible miscarriage or other possible complications.
