Timing Your First Ultrasound
Ultrasounds can be scheduled as soon as you have received a positive pregnancy result.
Why Ultrasounds Are Important
Ultrasounds matter during early pregnancy since they give you important medical information about how your pregnancy is developing, which a positive pregnancy test alone cannot confirm.
An ultrasound confirms how far along your pregnancy is (the gestational age) and that the pregnancy is located within the uterus.
This is important due to the risk of an ectopic pregnancy, which is when the pregnancy develops outside the uterus. An ectopic pregnancy can be life-threatening and needs urgent medical treatment.
What To Expect During Your Ultrasound
There are two types of ultrasounds, transvaginal or abdominal ultrasounds, and which one you get depends on how far along you are in your pregnancy.
Transvaginal scans are the most common way of checking for early pregnancy and are performed by inserting a small covered probe into the vagina to obtain a clear picture of the uterus.
Ultrasounds are very brief and aren’t painful. Once they are performed, you will have clear imaging of your pregnancy and clarity over any medical questions.
