Ultrasounds
You may be aware that practically every medical facility demands an ultrasound before allowing you to have an abortion procedure. There is a significant medical reason for this strategy, despite the fact that it may appear to be an extra step that is unneeded. Learn more about ultrasounds, their operation, and the information they give you to help you decide your options.
Ultrasounds and Abortion
An ultrasound will be performed on you at the clinic on the day of the surgery. You can have the ultrasound without drinking any water first. You will get a vaginal ultrasound due to the early stage of the pregnancy, so please shower beforehand. If you don't ask to see the ultrasound, you won't see it. When you visit the clinic, the nurse can address any more inquiries you may have regarding this.
Here's where the outcomes of your ultrasound could have an impact on your pregnancy choices. Each type of abortion has a specific window of time during which it is acceptable to carry out the procedure, whether you seek a medicinal or surgical abortion. Since an ultrasound can tell you how far along you are in your pregnancy, the results of your ultrasound will determine your abortion options. This is the reason that before any abortion procedures may be carried out, a legal ultrasound must be performed.
To schedule an ultrasound, call the clinic if you are thinking about getting an abortion but don't know when you got pregnant. This will reveal how many weeks along you are and provide our staff with the details we need to schedule your appointment.
