FOR YOUR HEALTH AND WELL-BEING, IT IS VITAL TO CONFIRM EVERY PREGNANCY WITH AN ULTRASOUND EXAM. 

Through a free, limited* ultrasound, you can receive the information you need to make a decision. 

If you’ve received a positive pregnancy test result, we know it can feel overwhelming and scary when this wasn’t what you had in mind during this season of life. There is no shame in feeling that way.

You may know exactly what you want to do—or you may still be thinking through all of your options. No matter what, it’s important to your health to get an ultrasound.

Alternatives Pregnancy Center is here to provide you with a safe, judgment-free space to obtain high-quality medical care, including a free, limited pregnancy ultrasound. Our licensed, professional medical staff is here to walk with you through this process that will give you a picture of your pregnancy so you can make an informed decision.*Limited pregnancy ultrasound is the type of ultrasound offered in early pregnancy to determine gestational age, cardiac activity and confirm intrauterine pregnancy.  After an ultrasound scan at our clinic, we will refer you to a prenatal care provider who will provide a mid-pregnancy ultrasound (also called the anatomy scan), usually between 18-21 weeks. A mid-pregnancy ultrasound can identify gender and check to make sure that the baby is growing and developing properly.

Why Do You Need a Pregnancy Ultrasound?

When you are pregnant, an ultrasound is essential to your health because it provides important information about your pregnancy that you need to know prior to making a decision.

Checks for a fetal heartbeat: An ultrasound can determine if there is fetal cardiac activity—in other words—if there is a heartbeat.

Determines gestational age and estimates a due date: The gestational age is how far along in your pregnancy you are. This also helps us to estimate your due date. These are important pieces of information for you to know as you make your decision.

Educate on fetal development: An ultrasound helps you understand how a baby develops in the uterus and what you could expect at each stage.

Confirm the pregnancy is located in the uterus: Sometimes you may get a positive pregnancy test, but the fertilized egg implants somewhere other than the uterus, which is known as an ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy has serious health risks. The pregnancy ultrasound confirms that the pregnancy is in the uterus.
