First and foremost, an ultrasound can provide an accurate estimate of how far along the pregnancy is. 

Ultrasounds provide a clear view of the fetus, which allows technicians to tell how many weeks into the pregnancy you are. In addition, ultrasounds allow for the detection of fetal heartbeat, so we can ensure the heart is beating normally. 

Finally, ultrasounds can also test for the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy, which is when a pregnancy develops outside of the uterus and can cause serious health problems.
