Why Does an Ultrasound Matter if I’m Considering Abortion?

Ultrasounds are essential during pregnancy because they provide details that can affect your options, especially if you’re considering abortion.

Like any other medical procedure, it’s important to do your due diligence to be well-prepared and decide confidently. Understanding your pregnancy through an ultrasound empowers you to make informed decisions about your options.

At Lakes Life Care Center, we offer no-cost ultrasounds in a safe, supportive environment. Here, you can get the information and answers you need, knowing that you are in caring hands.

Learn Your Pregnancy’s Gestational Age

With an ultrasound, you can learn your pregnancy’s gestational age, affecting your eligibility options for certain types of abortion. For example, the abortion pill is only FDA-approved through ten weeks of gestational age so getting an ultrasound sooner rather than later can confirm your options.

Confirm the Pregnancy’s Location

Normal pregnancies develop inside the uterus. An ultrasound will provide an image of the pregnancy, including its location. If located outside of the uterus, this is an ectopic pregnancy, which is a severe condition (can be life-threatening) and requires immediate medical attention. An elective abortion cannot treat an ectopic pregnancy.

Confirm your Pregnancy’s Progress

Along with learning the pregnancy’s gestational age and location, an ultrasound can confirm whether or not the pregnancy is progressing. Because 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage, you need to know the pregnancy’s viability before determining your next steps.
