Once you have a positive pregnancy test, we can offer a free ultrasound to determine pregnancy viability and gestational age. Did you know that up to 1 in 5 pregnancies end naturally in miscarriage? An ultrasound can detect if you are miscarrying. It is also the most accurate way to date your pregnancy, which is information you will need for any decision you make regarding your pregnancy. A licensed sonographer can perform an ultrasound exam when you are 6 weeks from your last period. We will then review your ultrasound and discuss the results with you.
