Confirm Your Pregnancy

Cost-free limited obstetric ultrasounds so you can know for sure

Do I need an ultrasound?

A home pregnancy test is an indicator of pregnancy, but it is not a confirmation. An obstetric ultrasound can help determine:

  • the approximate age of your pregnancy

  • if there is cardiac activity indicating the pregnancy is viable

  • the location of a pregnancy either in the uterus or a potentially life-threatening ectopic (tubal) pregnancy

  • if your pregnancy is developing under normal conditions

  • whether or not you are carrying a single fetus or multiples (depending on gestational age)

If you think you may be pregnant and would like an ultrasound, contact us today.

Do you need an ultrasound before an abortion?

If you have scheduled an abortion or are considering the abortion pill, an ultrasound should be performed prior to a procedure or taking abortion pills. For your health and safety, it's important to rule out an ectopic pregnancy and talk to a nurse about your health history and medications.

What do I need before my appointment?

Before an ultrasound can be scheduled, we will provide a pregnancy test at the center. If the test is positive, we can offer an ultrasound to confirm viability and how far along you are.  

 

We understand the issues facing an unexpected or unsupported pregnancy and are committed to providing you with a warm, safe, and discreet place where you can talk through your options. We can answer questions about pregnancy, abortion, parenting, and your health.​ Contact us to get started today.​
