Ultrasounds are performed after a positive test result to confirm the pregnancy. A trained licensed medical professional will perform the ultrasound in a private setting. The ultrasound may be performed on the same date as the pregnancy test or scheduled for a later date which is determined by the nurse and your health history. Ultrasounds are not painful, however some women may experience some mild discomfort.
The information obtained through the ultrasound will help you make an informed decision about your pregnancy and moving forward.
Three main questions will be answered during the ultrasound:
1) is there a pregnancy inside the uterus;
2) how far along are you in weeks and days from your last menstrual period and estimated delivery date;
3) is there a heartbeat (versus possible miscarriage).
Vida Medical Clinic’s licensed professionals are available to answer your questions, offer consultations, and provide evidence-based medical education about your pregnancy options; however, Vida does not offer or refer for abortion services.
Your Estimated Due Date (EDD) is calculated by the first day of your last menstrual period and can be confirmed by an ultrasound.
