How Does An Ultrasound Work?
An ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to reveal what is inside your uterus. Performing an ultrasound exam during pregnancy is a very safe and painless procedure. This process can also expose the possibility that you may miscarry or have an ectopic pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy could be life-threatening, so it is vital to identify this risk right away.
3 Reasons Why An Ultrasound Is Important
An ultrasound will help detect necessary information regarding your pregnancy. An ultrasound will:
-
Confirm that the pregnancy is located within the uterus
-
Detect a heartbeat
-
Determine gestational age (or how many weeks pregnant you are)
Your ultrasound results will determine what steps to take next with your pregnancy. It is essential to receive an ultrasound before you make your pregnancy decision.
