If you think you might be pregnant, you have many choices facing you right now, and it can be overwhelming to be faced with so much all at once. You might be considering options like abortion that you haven’t previously thought about. We're here to help you no matter what choice you make, but first there are some important things to think about if you are considering abortion.

Before having an abortion, it is very important to have your pregnancy confirmed. There are many reasons that you could have missed your period or that you are experiencing other symptoms of pregnancy. It will only add to your concerns to start thinking about abortion if you have not taken a pregnancy test yet. Even if you have taken a home test, It’s wise to take another confirming test.

If you have had a positive pregnancy test, it is vital to have an ultrasound before an  abortion. An abortion procedure should only be performed on women who have a viable (capable of living) pregnancy. An ultrasound is a highly effective tool in determining the health of your pregnancy and is very important for your safety.

Additionally, abortion procedures vary depending on how far along you are in pregnancy. An ultrasound will assist in determining the gestational age of your baby and what type of abortion procedure you may be facing.
