If your pregnancy test comes back positive, an ultrasound is the next step toward understanding where your pregnancy stands. It gives you clear, factual information about your pregnancy so you can make a decision that’s right for you.
At Horizon, ultrasounds are performed by licensed sonographers at no cost to you.
Is An Ultrasound Necessary?
You might be wondering why an ultrasound matters, especially if you’re already thinking about abortion. The answer is that it tells you two things you’ll want to know before deciding anything.
First, it confirms how far along you are, known as gestational age. This matters because abortion options in surrounding states often depend on timing, and the abortion pill isn’t an option past 10 weeks of pregnancy. Second, it checks whether a heartbeat is detectable, which usually happens around six weeks. Knowing both helps you understand your pregnancy and your real options.
What to Expect
An ultrasound is a simple, painless scan that uses sound waves to create an image of your pregnancy. It’s done in a private, comfortable setting at our center.
A licensed sonographer performs the scan and walks you through what it shows. There’s no pressure and no judgment, just clear information and time to ask whatever questions come to mind. If the scan reveals something that needs medical attention, like a possible miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy, you’ll know so you can seek the right care.
