If you’ve taken a positive pregnancy test, your next step may be an ultrasound. But why is that important, especially if you’re not sure what you want to do next?
Ultrasounds do more than confirm a pregnancy. They give you key information that helps you make informed, empowered decisions.
Here’s what an early ultrasound can tell you:
1. Is the Pregnancy Viable?
An ultrasound can confirm whether the pregnancy is developing inside the uterus and whether there’s a detectable heartbeat. Around 1 in 4 pregnancies end in natural miscarriage—knowing whether yours is viable helps avoid unnecessary decisions or worry.
2. How Far Along Am I?
Knowing how many weeks along you are can affect your options. An ultrasound gives an accurate measurement so you can clearly understand your timeline, especially if your periods are irregular.
3. Is the Pregnancy Ectopic?
An ectopic pregnancy is when the fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, usually in a fallopian tube. This is a medical emergency. Early ultrasounds can detect this and help protect your health.
4. Why It Matters for Decision-Making
Whether you’re considering parenting, adoption, or abortion, you deserve medically accurate information before making a choice. Ultrasounds offer facts, not opinions—and they’re a vital first step.
