What Does a Limited Obstetric Ultrasound Tell You
While a limited obstetric ultrasound will not diagnose certain conditions, it provides three vital details you need to know when planning for the future.
These details include the following and answer many critical questions.
- The location: Is your pregnancy within the uterus or outside (ectopic pregnancy)?
- The gestational age: How far along are you in your pregnancy, and when is your potential due date if you plan to carry to term?
- The presence of a heartbeat: Can you detect a heartbeat? Does it appear that your pregnancy is progressing and you haven’t miscarried?
Based on the details of your ultrasound, you’ll also learn:
- If you need follow-up care to investigate a potential ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage
- Your available abortion options, based on how far along you are.
- How long you have to prepare if you’d like to parent
Even if you’re leaning toward abortion, you do not want to miss an initial ultrasound to ensure you don’t have an issue like ectopic pregnancy that requires treatment. If you continued with the abortion pill, you would go through the procedure, think you’re done, and potentially miss treating a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy.
