Ultrasounds
Before you decide...
Come in for a free pregnancy test and we will help you schedule an ultrasound. Taking the initiative to get an ultrasound can give you VERY useful information you need to make an informed decision about your pregnancy!
Why an ultrasound?
An early ultrasound verifies viability. This means checking for a heartbeat & that the pregnancy is in the correct location. The ultrasound also shows your due date & how many weeks along you are in your pregnancy (the gestational age of the baby).
The incidence of ectopic pregnancy is on the rise. This is when a pregnancy develops outside of the uterus, often in the fallopian tubes. If an ectopic pregnancy continues to grow in the fallopian tube, it can damage or burst the tube causing heavy bleeding, even possible death. This is a very serious condition that needs immediate attention.
