So, you've taken a pregnancy test and the results are positive. If you're feeling overwhelmed or anxious, you're not alone. What you're feeling is very normal.

That's why Jewel Women's Center provides pre-abortion ultrasounds in Schuylkill County, PA at no cost. Contact Jewel today to schedule a confidential appointment.
Get An Ultrasound Before An Abortion
Getting a preabortion ultrasound is needed in the state of Pennsylvania. This is required for multiple reasons. The first and most important reason is your own health. You need to get an ultrasound before an abortion because there are medical complications that could occur if the fetus is not located in the uterus.

Why you need an ultrasound for an abortion
We offer limited ultrasounds in Schuylkill Haven, PA to determine whether a pregnancy is viable and how many weeks a patient has been pregnant. Viability is based on whether a technician can detect a fetal heartbeat and if the pregnancy is developing in the uterus. If the pregnancy is developing outside of the uterus, possibly in the fallopian tubes, then it is called an ectopic pregnancy.
When a technician is unable to locate a fetal heartbeat, there is a strong chance for a natural miscarriage. For both an ectopic pregnancy or possible miscarriage, we will refer you for immediate medical attention.
Finally, when the ultrasound confirms a viable pregnancy, it also gives you proof of pregnancy, which is needed to obtain certain government assistance.

Ultrasound before the abortion pill
If you are planning to take the abortion pill, it's very important to have an ultrasound before proceeding with the medication. About 30 percent of early pregnancies end naturally in miscarriage. Getting an ultrasound before taking the abortion pill could prevent you from paying for and taking a medication you don't need.
An ultrasound is also needed before an abortion to determine how far along you are - which dictates the price and type of procedure available. The abortion pill is only effective up to approximately 10 weeks.
