An ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to generate an image of your uterus onto a monitor. With a transabdominal ultrasound, a gel-like substance is put on your belly, and then a transducer device is rubbed over the gel to pick up the sound waves and onto a screen for your viewing if you’d like. With a transvaginal ultrasound, a transducer is inserted inside your vagina.
Why should I have an ultrasound? Especially if I’m considering abortion?
No matter what pregnancy choices you’re considering, a confirmation ultrasound empowers you with important medical information about what’s going on in your body.
- How far along am I? Abortion procedures vary based on the gestational age of a fetus, so you should know how far along you are in your pregnancy.2
- Is the pregnancy in my uterus? 3 An ectopic pregnancy (or tubal pregnancy) can pose a life-threatening risk to you. Because abortion procedures focus on emptying the uterus only, you need to be sure that your pregnancy is located in your uterus and not in your fallopian tubes.
- Is the pregnancy viable? 4 According to the Mayo Clinic, miscarriage rates can be as high as 20%. An ultrasound can tell you if your pregnancy is non-viable (no heartbeat) so you can seek further medical care and avoid an unneeded abortion procedure.
