Yes – an ultrasound is vital to determine details of your pregnancy and to determine your pregnancy options. It’s important to have an ultrasound performed following a positive pregnancy test. An ultrasound can tell you several important things about your pregnancy, including gestational age and health of both yourself and the fetus. It confirms three things, including:
- How far along you are (the gestational age)
- The location of your pregnancy (if growing within your uterus or not)
- If your pregnancy is viable (tells you if you miscarried)
