What is a viable pregnancy and how can that be determined?
Viability, in the context of pregnancy, refers to the likelihood that the pregnancy will progress and result in the birth of a live, healthy baby. An ultrasound can confirm whether the pregnancy is located inside the uterus, which is essential for a viable pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancies, where the embryo implants outside the uterus, are not viable and pose serious health risks. One of the key indicators of viability is the presence of a fetal heartbeat. An ultrasound can detect and assess the fetal heartbeat, providing important information about the health and vitality of the developing baby.
