Is Pre-Abortion Screening Necessary?
You have several options for your unplanned pregnancy: abortion, adoption, and parenting. But even if you’re convinced you’ll choose an abortion, do you still need a pre-abortion screening?
This process helps you safeguard your health and identify certain pregnancy conditions requiring medical treatment. Without a pre-abortion screening, your risk of developing serious abortion-related complications could increase.
Here are some reasons why you should contact Elevate Women’s Center for a pre-abortion screening today:
You may have unknowingly received an inaccurate result on an at-home pregnancy test if you took it too early or didn’t follow the instructions properly. Confirm you’re pregnant with a medical-grade pregnancy test at our center to ensure accurate results.
You don’t want an abortion if you have certain medical conditions or are too far along. Get the facts with an ultrasound performed by a registered sonographer.
An ultrasound will determine your pregnancy’s viability, gestational age, and location. Depending on its findings, you may be too far along for an abortion, have suffered a miscarriage, or have an ectopic pregnancy. This last condition is very dangerous and requires medical treatment.
Abortion procedures do not treat miscarriages or ectopic pregnancies. And taking abortion medications without proper screening can have significant health consequences. Be proactive and receive the facts about your pregnancy first. Most abortions are illegal in Arkansas, so traveling out of state for an unnecessary procedure would cost you time and money.
