Finding out you’re pregnant when you weren’t expecting to be can bring many emotions and questions. If you’re thinking about abortion, it’s important to have accurate information and medical support before making a final decision.
At Choices Medical Services, we believe you deserve clarity and confidence every step of the way. Here are three essential steps to take before making a final decision.
1. Confirm Your Pregnancy with an Ultrasound
A home pregnancy test provides an initial result but doesn’t answer all your questions. The next step is to verify your pregnancy with an ultrasound. This scan provides crucial medical information that a pregnancy test cannot.
An ultrasound can:
- Determine if the pregnancy is progressing (and you haven’t had a miscarriage)
- Show where the pregnancy is located (to rule out ectopic pregnancy)
- Confirm how far along you are, which affects what options are available
Knowing these details helps protect your health and shape your next steps. For example, medical abortion is only FDA-approved through 10 weeks of pregnancy. An ultrasound ensures you have accurate information and can make a decision that considers your health.
2. Review Your Health History with a Provider
Your medical history matters. Before undergoing any abortion procedure, you should speak with your doctor about any health conditions, current medications, and allergies.
They can help you weigh the risks and discuss your unique circumstances, helping you make an informed decision.
3. Learn About All Your Options
