Why is an Ultrasound Is Important for Early Pregnancy Care?
An ultrasound is an important tool that provides more information than a pregnancy test alone. While a test can detect the pregnancy hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), an ultrasound helps evaluate what is happening inside your body.
How can an ultrasound help?
- Determining how far along you are: An ultrasound also helps determine gestational age, or how far along the pregnancy is. Timing can affect medical options and care decisions. Knowing the stage of pregnancy helps healthcare providers give accurate information about what is safest for you.
- Confirming pregnancy location and ruling out risks: One of the most important safety benefits of an ultrasound is confirming the location of the pregnancy. In some cases, a pregnancy may develop outside the uterus, known as an ectopic pregnancy. This condition can become serious if not identified early, so confirming the location is critical for your health.
- Identifying possible complications: Ultrasounds can also help identify complications such as a molar pregnancy, which involves abnormal cell growth in the uterus. Ultrasounds can also help determine whether the pregnancy appears to be progressing and identify signs that may warrant further medical evaluation, such as a possible miscarriage.
Do I Need an Ultrasound for My Own Safety?
An ultrasound ensures you receive the safest care available and can make informed decisions going forward. During the in-person appointment, a healthcare professional may perform a physical exam, review your medical history, and order blood or urine tests, in addition to the ultrasound, to ensure you receive appropriate care.
Knowing how far along you are, where the pregnancy is located, and whether there are any health concerns before making these important decisions can protect your health and well-being.
