Confirming Your Pregnancy

If you haven’t already confirmed your pregnancy, we’ll do a free pregnancy test on site during your first appointment. These tests are accurate in most cases, but results can occasionally be affected by timing or certain medications. If something doesn’t match what you’re experiencing, we may recommend testing again.

Your Ultrasound, If It’s the Right Next Step

If it’s the right next step for you, a licensed sonographer will perform a free ultrasound during your first appointment to check how far along the pregnancy is and confirm it’s developing where it should be.
