Is An Ultrasound Necessary?
An ultrasound protects your health and safety, as it confirms three essential details which determine what options you have:
- The viability of your pregnancy (if it’s healthy and growing)
- The location of your pregnancy (whether it’s growing within your uterus or not)
- How far along you are in your pregnancy (also known as gestational age)
Ultrasounds can alert you to potential pregnancy complications such as ectopic pregnancy or a miscarriage. Both of these require special medical attention. If you experience either of these, abortion would not be an option. Schedule a free, limited ultrasound with us today to be sure.
What Are the Risks of Abortion?
Abortion is a serious medical procedure that comes with significant health risks. The risks vary a little depending on which type of abortion you have.
According to the Mayo Clinic, the possible risks of medical abortion include the following:
- Incomplete abortion, which may need to be followed by surgical abortion
- An ongoing unwanted pregnancy if the procedure doesn’t work
- Heavy and prolonged bleeding
- Infection
- Fever
- Digestive system discomfort
The Mayo Clinic shares possible complications of surgical abortion, including:
- Perforation of the uterus
- Damage to the cervix
- Scar tissue on the uterine wall
