Confirm Your Pregnancy And Learn About Your Options with an Ultrasound
Ultrasounds are used to confirm your pregnancy and are the next step after receiving a positive pregnancy test. An ultrasound will help us to understand important details about your pregnancy, such as:
Gestational Age:
Knowing how far along you are can help you understand your options.
Pregnancy Viability:
Checking the baby’s heartbeat and likelihood of the pregnancy being able to continue to full term.
Ruling out an ectopic pregnancy:
Ensuring the pregnancy is located in the uterus (where it’s supposed to be), which is crucial for your health.
How Ultrasounds Work
An ultrasound is a gentle, non-invasive procedure that uses sound waves to create images of your baby growing inside you. These sound waves are perfectly safe and bounce off your baby, sending back images that allow us to see how your baby is developing.

Navigating Tough Choices: Abortion Ultrasound Information
Navigating Tough Choices: Abortion Ultrasound Information
Even if you’ve already decided you’d like to move forward with terminating your pregnancy, an ultrasound may still be necessary. Some abortion clinics may actually require for you to have an ultrasound before scheduling any abortion services. There are a few reasons why an ultrasound is still important:
- The abortion method(s) available to you are dependent on how far along your pregnancy is.
- If an ultrasound reveals that the pregnancy is not viable, then the pregnancy will ultimately end naturally without an abortion procedure.
- Ruling out an ectopic pregnancy is important. If it is determined that the pregnancy is ectopic, there is a procedure different from an abortion that will be needed to end the pregnancy.
We understand that each individual’s circumstances are unique and that in an unplanned pregnancy, there isn’t always an easy option. HELP Pregnancy Aid offers free pregnancy ultrasounds and abortion information consultations regardless of your decision. Our center is committed to offering a compassionate, supportive, and informative environment. We’re here to ensure that you feel understood, respected, and cared for as you make the decisions that are right for you.
Frequently Asked Questions About Pregnancy Ultrasounds:
Ultrasounds are used to confirm your pregnancy and are the next step after receiving a positive pregnancy test. An ultrasound will help us to understand important details about your pregnancy, such as:
What exactly is an ultrasound, and how does it work?
An ultrasound uses safe sound waves to create images of your baby inside the womb. It allows us to check on your baby’s development and health without any discomfort to you.
Is getting an ultrasound safe for me and my baby?
Absolutely. Ultrasounds are a non-invasive procedure that has been used for decades to monitor pregnancies safely. There is no radiation involved, making it safe for both you and your baby.
What can I expect during my ultrasound appointment?
During your appointment, you’ll lie down while a small device called a transducer is gently moved across your belly. A special gel applied to your skin helps conduct the sound waves. You’ll be able to see images of your baby on a monitor, and our caring staff will guide you through what you’re seeing.
How should I prepare for my ultrasound?
Typically, there’s little you need to do to prepare. Depending on the stage of your pregnancy, we might ask you to come with a full bladder to get clearer images. We’ll let you know ahead of your appointment if this is necessary.
Will the ultrasound tell me how far along I am?
Yes, one of the primary purposes of an ultrasound is to estimate your due date based on your baby’s size and development. This can be especially helpful if you’re unsure about when you conceived.
Can an ultrasound determine the sex of my baby?
In many cases, yes, depending on how far along you are and your baby’s position during the ultrasound. If determining the sex of your baby is important to you, please let us know, and we’ll do our best to provide you with answers.
What if the ultrasound reveals a problem?
Our priority is your care and well-being. If we notice anything that requires further attention, we’ll explain everything clearly and compassionately, discussing your options and next steps. Remember, we’re here to support you, no matter what.
Are there any costs associated with having an ultrasound at your center?
We believe in providing accessible care to all, which is why we offer free ultrasounds. Our mission is to support you through this time with understanding and without financial burden.
