Please note that the limited obstetrical ultrasound examination is not intended to determine sex or diagnose any abnormalities and/or problems you or your baby may have at this early stage.
An ultrasound is an important step you should not skip for many reasons. No matter what options you’re considering, you need to know the gestational age of your pregnancy, as it will determine the abortion procedures you are eligible for or the specifics of prenatal care you need to begin.

Ultrasounds are considered a medical procedure and thus you must be evaluated by a medical professional before the scan can be done.
