Early pregnancy assessment

Early pregnancy assessment is a medical evaluation performed soon after a woman suspects she is pregnant, typically within the first few weeks. It aims to confirm the pregnancy, check for its viability, and identify any potential issues. This may involve a physical examination, blood tests to measure hormone levels, and ultrasounds to ensure the pregnancy is developing normally and is located within the uterus. Such assessments are crucial for managing the health of both the mother and the developing fetus, addressing any concerns early, and providing necessary guidance or interventions.
