Understanding Your Options During an Unplanned Pregnancy
Facing an unplanned pregnancy? We are here to support you. We understand you likely have many questions, and navigating an unplanned pregnancy can feel overwhelming when it comes to deciding what to do next. This is an important decision, and we’re here to help, you are not alone. We can provide you with all the facts and information for each of your options. By taking a knowledge-based approach we hope to equip our clients to make a decision that is best for them.
Medical Services and Pregnancy Verification
If you are experiencing early pregnancy signs like a missed or late period, morning sickness, nausea, tender breasts, fatigue, or food aversions, contact us for a free lab-grade pregnancy test. If the test is positive, we can provide pregnancy confirmation via ultrasound so you can know for sure. An ultrasound is the only way to 100% confirm pregnancy and viability and learn exactly how far along you are. It's important to rule out an ectopic pregnancy or a naturally occurring miscarriage. Along with pregnancy decision support, we provide medical care and support services in a private and confidential environment. Our free services include:
- Pregnancy verification via ultrasound
- Options consultations
- Confidential STI screening
- Pregnancy and parenting education
