Step 1: Confirm Your Pregnancy
A home pregnancy test is a good first step, but it doesn't tell you everything you need to know.
A medical-grade pregnancy test and an ultrasound can help determine:
- Whether your pregnancy is progressing
- How far along you are
- Whether the pregnancy is located in the uterus
- Whether there are signs of miscarriage
Our clinics provide:
- Free lab-quality pregnancy testing
- Limited obstetric ultrasounds
- Pregnancy confirmation
- Pregnancy dating
- Information about your next steps
Having this information first can help you make an informed decision about your pregnancy.
Step 2: Learn About Your Pregnancy Options
If you're pregnant and unsure what to do, it's important to understand all of your options before making a decision.
Our team can provide medically accurate information about:
- Parenting
- Adoption
- Medication abortion (the abortion pill)
- Surgical abortion
- Pregnancy timelines
- State abortion laws
You'll have the opportunity to ask questions in a safe, confidential setting without pressure or judgment.
Step 3: Learn About Available Resources
If you choose to continue your pregnancy, there are many resources available to help.
Depending on your needs, we can connect you with:
- WIC
- Medicaid
- Community assistance programs
- Parenting classes
- Baby supplies
- Local support organizations
- Other state and local resources

I just found out I'm pregnant. What should I do first?
Take a deep breath. The first step is to confirm your pregnancy with a medical-grade pregnancy test and an ultrasound. An ultrasound can determine how far along you are, confirm that the pregnancy is located in the uterus, and identify whether the pregnancy is viable. Once you have this information, you can better understand your options and decide what to do next.
Do I need to see a doctor if I have a positive home pregnancy test?
A home pregnancy test is a good first step, but it cannot tell you how far along you are or whether the pregnancy is developing normally. A medical appointment that includes an ultrasound can provide important information about your pregnancy before you make any decisions.
What are my pregnancy options?
If you're pregnant, you generally have three options to consider:
- Parenting
- Adoption
- Abortion
Learning about each option and understanding your pregnancy can help you make an informed decision. Our team provides accurate information in a confidential, judgment-free environment.
How can I tell how far along I am?
The most accurate way to determine how far along you are is through an ultrasound. While the date of your last menstrual period provides an estimate, an ultrasound offers a more accurate assessment of gestational age.
Are your services free?
Yes. We provide free and confidential pregnancy services. No insurance is required, and there is no cost for pregnancy testing, limited obstetric ultrasounds, or consultations.
Will my visit be confidential?
Yes. Your privacy is important to us. Our services are confidential, and our caring staff is committed to providing a safe, supportive environment where you can ask questions and discuss your pregnancy without pressure or judgment. If you have privacy concerns or need additional accommodations, let us know, we'll do our best to help.
Do I need insurance to make an appointment?
No. Our services are provided at no cost, and no insurance is required. This allows you to receive care without worrying about insurance coverage or billing.
What if I'm considering abortion?
If you're considering abortion, we encourage you to first confirm your pregnancy with an ultrasound. An ultrasound can determine how far along you are, confirm that the pregnancy is located in the uterus, and identify whether there are any medical concerns that may require additional care. We can also provide information about abortion procedures, the abortion pill, and applicable state laws so you can make an informed decision.
Can someone come with me to my appointment?
Yes. If you'd like, you're welcome to bring a friend, family member, or another support person with you to your appointment. If you have any questions about your visit, please contact us for more information.
What if I don't know what decision I'm going to make?
That's okay. Many women feel uncertain after learning they're pregnant. You don't have to make a decision right away. Our goal is to provide accurate information, answer your questions, and support you as you consider your options.
