Free Limited OB Ultrasounds

Free Limited OB Ultrasound

If you are uncertain about which choice to make regarding your pregnancy or are thinking about abortion, we recommend that you have a limited OB ultrasound to answer some of these questions regarding your pregnancy: “How far along am I?” and “Does my pregnancy appear viable?”. Finding out these answers allows you to more thoroughly explore the risks and benefits of your options. Additionally, limited OB ultrasound services are offered for the purposes of confirming an intrauterine pregnancy, detecting fetal cardiac activity, and estimating gestational age only. To access these services, you first need to schedule a pregnancy test and meet with a personal advocate.

Take Your Most Important Next Step

If your pregnancy test results come back positive, your next most important step is to receive a limited OB ultrasound. This procedure is safe and painless. Limited OB ultrasound tests use sound waves that are transmitted into your belly to get a picture of your pregnancy. Those pictures then are able to verify your pregnancy, decide if your pregnancy is viable (capable of surviving) and whether the fetus is in the proper location in the uterus or lodged outside the uterus, which can be life-threatening. This information will help you decide on all of your options available to you.
