Why Calculating Your Pregnancy Due Date Through an Ultrasound Matters
Many women, like yourself, search for quick answers online. Due date calculators are everywhere. They can feel helpful in the moment. But they don't tell the whole story. Knowing the exact details of your pregnancy can help you make a safe, medical decision and, in many cases, can determine the options (and potential cost or price) available to you.
An ultrasound in the first trimester doesn’t guess. It's a simple, non-invasive procedure where a technician uses a handheld device to measure the size and development of the pregnancy, giving an accurate date. The procedure is safe and painless, and the results are immediate, providing you with the information you need without delay.
Here's what an early ultrasound helps confirm:
-
How far along you are (a far more accurate way than a conception calculator)
-
If the pregnancy is in your uterus (not ectopic)
-
If there is a heartbeat (and the pregnancy is viable)
-
Whether you’re carrying more than one baby
