What is a pregnancy ultrasound?

Is an imaging procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to create a real-time picture of the developing fetus in the womb. Ultrasounds provide vital information about your pregnancy, including how far along you are and your estimated due date. We provide free, hospital-grade pregnancy tests with immediate results.

More Information

How does it work?

Aria uses point of care ultrasounds. Ultrasounds are also called sonograms. Aria uses are small ultrasound devices that are gently put on the abdomen (belly), using ultrasound gel to help create a better picture. The utlrasound technician uses gentle pressure — sonograms do not cause pain.

Aria has licensed clinicians working remotely who will review your ultrasound images and meet with you by live video to explain the results and answer your questions.

We are usually able to see the pregnancy clearly using an abdominal ultrasounds if it has been at least five weeks since your last period. If you are less than 5 weeks pregnant, we may not even able to see the pregnancy clearly. In that case, we will offer you a transvaginal ultrasound — this is optional.

What is a transvaginal ultrasound?

If you are very early in your pregnancy — less than five weeks from the first day of your last period — it may be difficult to see the pregnancy using an abdominal ultrasound. Using a transvaginal ultrasound makes it easier to see very small pregnancies. This is optional. Aria providers are happy to offer you the care you need, whether or not you choose to have a vaginal ultrasound. 

Can you see the sex of the embryo or fetus?

Aria Medical only offers ultrasounds to date early pregnancies. The sex is not visible in early pregnancies.

What else can you see on ultrasounds?

Aria only offers ultrasounds to date early pregnancies. We don’t offer ultrasounds to diagnosis other conditions.

Can you see an ectopic pregnancy on ultrasound?

Ectopic pregnancies (often called tubal pregnancies) are when the pregnancy grows outside the uterus. Ectopic pregnancies are sometimes visible on ultrasound. When they are very small, they are diagnosed through blood tests. If we do not see a pregnancy in the uterus, the licensed clinician will talk with you about how to find out if you have an ectopic pregnancy.
