Why Do Ultrasounds Matter?
A pregnancy test can confirm that hCG is present in your body, but it cannot provide all the details needed to understand your pregnancy. It’s crucial to verify information before making any decision; doing so is a proactive way to ask questions and ensure you’re prioritizing your health.
Voice of Hope offers no-cost, confidential limited ultrasounds so you can get the answers you need and approach the decision-making process with greater confidence.
What an Ultrasound Can Show
Ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of structures inside the body. During pregnancy, this technology can help confirm important details such as:
Viability
This refers to whether the pregnancy appears to be progressing and whether a heartbeat is detected. As many as 26% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage, and ultrasound can help identify when medical follow-up may be necessary.
Gestational Age
Gestational age tells how far along the pregnancy is. Knowing this information can help determine your options. Medical abortion, for example, is FDA-approved through 10 weeks gestation.
Location of the Pregnancy
Most pregnancies develop in the uterus. In rare cases, a pregnancy develops outside the uterus. This condition is called an ectopic pregnancy and requires immediate medical attention to prevent life-threatening complications.
Why Ultrasound Matters
Confirming pregnancy details is needed to protect your health and understand the options available to you.
Without an ultrasound, you won’t be able to make an informed decision, and this information often helps people feel more prepared as they think about parenting, adoption, or abortion.
