If you're considering abortion, the first step is a pre-termination appointment to complete your ultrasound.
Before scheduling an abortion, an ultrasound will help determine:
- Whether your pregnancy is progressing: This is important in deciding which method of abortion you might be eligible for. The type of abortion procedure and its cost depend on your health history and how far along your pregnancy is.
- Whether your pregnancy is viable: The only way to be 100% sure your pregnancy is progressing is through an ultrasound. Studies show that up to one in four pregnancies don’t progress. Some women don’t realize they’ve had a miscarriage until it’s seen in an ultrasound. If you’ve miscarried, you will need follow-up care from a doctor.
