Early Pregnancy? Confirm with Ultrasound 🌸

Your first step toward peace of mind

Finding out you're pregnant is a moment filled with emotion—excitement, nervousness, maybe even disbelief. Whether you’ve taken a home test or are just feeling a little “different,” the next step is confirming that life-changing news. That’s where we come in.

At Atlanta Ultrasound, we help you get the answers you need with gentle, early pregnancy ultrasounds that give clarity and comfort—fast.

Early Pregnancy

Why Confirm Pregnancy with an Ultrasound?

Home pregnancy tests are a great first step, but they don’t give you the full picture. An ultrasound can:

  • Confirm the pregnancy beyond a faint line on a stick

  • Check for a heartbeat, which is usually visible by 6 weeks

  • Determine how far along you are (gestational age)

  • Rule out ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage risk

  • Offer peace of mind when you're anxious or unsure

When Should You Get an Early Pregnancy Ultrasound?

We typically recommend scheduling your ultrasound between 6–8 weeks gestation. That’s when we can:

See the gestational sac
Detect a fetal pole

Possibly hear the baby’s heartbeat

If you're earlier than 6 weeks, we may still see something, but we’ll let you know what to expect during your visit.

What Happens During the Appointment?

You’ll be welcomed into a peaceful, cozy space (nothing like a busy hospital waiting room). One of our friendly sonographers will gently guide the process and explain everything you see on the screen.

We may perform a transvaginal ultrasound for better clarity in early weeks—don’t worry, it’s quick and done with great care. And yes, we’ll answer all your questions along the way.

It’s More Than a Scan—It’s a Moment

At Atlanta Ultrasound, we know this is more than just a medical check—it’s a memory. That’s why we make sure every visit is full of warmth, privacy, and support. Whether you come alone or bring a loved one, we’re here to make it special.
