What is a limited obstetrical ultrasound and why do I need one?
Obstetrical refers to the pregnancy. A limited obstetrical ultrasound means it is limited to pregnancy confirmation in the following ways:
- Confirm the presence of a pregnancy
- Rule out an ectopic pregnancy
- Confirm the viability of the pregnancy and cardiac activity
- Estimate the gestational age (number of weeks)
The abortion laws in Pennsylvania allow me to have an abortion significantly into the pregnancy (up until 24 weeks). If I am having an abortion, do I still need to do this?
Yes, especially if you are planning to have an abortion. You can never be too safe with your health. The abortion options and cost for an abortion will be based on the information you obtain in a limited obstetrical ultrasound. This service is completely free, confidential, and administered by a licensed professional with the clinics listed on this site.
