Ultrasounds

Confirm Your Pregnancy

If you recently found out you are pregnant, the next step is to have an ultrasound performed. At Women’s Resource Center, we can provide you with a free ultrasound to learn more about your pregnancy.

Through high-frequency sound waves, ultrasound produces an image of the inside of the uterus, which provides crucial information regarding the pregnancy. Our ultrasound will provide you with information like how far along you are, how big is your baby, it’s heartbeat, and even confirming your expected due date! Ultrasound is a quick and painless procedure. You will also receive several pictures for you to keep.

If you are interested in a free ultrasound, please contact us today to speak to our nurses!

Purpose of An Ultrasound

Ultrasounds can tell you a lot about your pregnancy. Through an examination of fetal development, an accurate estimation of the gestational age of the pregnancy can be provided, while also detecting a fetal heartbeat. Ultrasounds can also determine the location of your pregnancy, guarding against potential issues like ectopic pregnancy. This can be done very early in the pregnancy, about 6-7 weeks after period!

Ectopic Pregnancy

Although ectopic pregnancies are rare, they must be treated immediately in the case that one does occur, as it can be life-threatening. Pregnancy is classified as ectopic when a fertilized egg implants in an area outside of the uterus, which can lead to severe organ damage or blood loss as the pregnancy develops.

Ectopic Pregnancy Symptoms Include:

Acute pelvic or abdominal pain
Vaginal bleeding
Gastrointestinal distress
Excessive dizziness or fatigue

Should you experience any of these symptoms, please seek medical attention immediately.

Miscarriage

Ultrasounds can also assess your risk of miscarriage. As miscarriages occur in approximately one in four pregnancies, it is important to guard against risks as early as possible.

Causes of Miscarriages Include:

Infection
Pre-existing medical conditions
Hormones
Immune system deficiencies
Uterine abnormalities
Weakened cervix
Drug or alcohol use
STIs/STDs

Even the most cautious pregnancies carry some risk of miscarriage. Should you find yourself experiencing any symptoms related to the above, please contact a medical professional immediately.
