After confirming your pregnancy with our medical-grade pregnancy test, it is important to find out if you are really pregnant. Since as many as 20% of pregnancies end in natural miscarriage, it is possible for your pregnancy test to still show a positive result. The earliest and safest way to confirm a pregnancy is with an ultrasound. This is a free service provided by A Caring Center for Women.
The transducer, or probe, produces sound waves and detects how they echo back, producing an image. Ultrasounds are fast and pain-free.
Yes, ultrasounds are even safer than X-rays because they use sound instead of ionizing radiation. Follow your doctorʼs recommendations for frequency of scans.
Come in comfortable clothing and with a full bladder. When your bladder is full, you are better able to see the uterus and pregnancy placement.
Ultrasound shows exactly where the pregnancy is developing. If the pregnancy is located outside of the uterus, it is considered ectopic and we will refer you to treatment from a trusted provider.
