If you’ve had a positive pregnancy test, a limited obstetric ultrasound may provide you with clarity concerning pregnancy confirmation and dating, and your wellbeing. It’s important that this 2nd step in the pregnancy verification process is not skipped, as it reveals important details about your potential pregnancy.

An ultrasound is a method of using sound waves to create images of internal structures of your body. A trained professional collects images for our doctor to interpret for your care and decisions.

Information provided to you through an ultrasound appointment can impact your safety and help you move toward your pregnancy decision.

A limited obstetric ultrasound can reveal three vital details about pregnancy, including…

1. Location of the pregnancy (whether the embryo is growing within the uterus)

2. Viability (a visual of the fetal cardiac activity)

3. How far along you are (an estimated gestational age and an estimated due date)

Would I benefit from a limited obstetric ultrasound?

Yes – it’s essential to receive a limited obstetric ultrasound before making a pregnancy decision. While a limited obstetric ultrasound confirms the viability and other pregnancy confirmation details, a limited obstetric ultrasound may also alert you to some potential health complications that may require immediate medical attention.

An ultrasound could identify the possibility of a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy may be life-threatening, so it’s important to identify this risk as soon as possible.
