Why do you perform ultrasound examinations?
At Birth Choice Health Clinics limited obstetrical ultrasounds are performed to indicate the following:
• Confirm pregnancy
• Detect fetal heart beat
• Determine fetal age
• Determine due date
• Determine location of pregnancy (intrauterine/ectopic)
The ultrasound examination is not intended to diagnose any abnormalities and/or problems.
How should I prepare for an ultrasound?
The Birth Choice staff will provide you pre instructions for your exam. However, you should wear a loose-fitting two-piece outfit for the examination. This will prevent you from having to re-adjust your clothing during the exam.
