Early Pregnancy Monitoring in Edmonds

Often at 6 to 7 weeks based on the first day of your last period. We sometimes scan earlier if there is concern for ectopic pregnancy or if labs suggest it is needed. Early ultrasounds help confirm the location of the pregnancy, dating, and early cardiac activity when present.
