Medical & Pregnancy Consultation
You may face many questions when you have an unexpected pregnancy. You might worry about what others will think, where you can receive medical care, and if you need to tell your partner. The best thing you can have is an advocate on your side who will walk you through your next steps and provide the pregnancy services you need. At Waterleaf Women’s Center, we are here for you.
I’m Pregnant. What Do I Do Now?
No woman wants to feel pressured into making a pregnancy decision. If you do not have the support you need, know we are here to help. Our medical and pregnancy consultation can help you get the answers you need in a nonjudgemental, confidential environment.
- Pregnancy Test - Your first step is medical-grade pregnancy testing performed at our center. You will learn your results during your appointment.
- Ultrasound - If your test is positive, we will provide an ultrasound to determine the age, location, and viability of your pregnancy.
The ultrasound is especially important because it can identify conditions that may require immediate medical attention, such as an ectopic pregnancy. Up to 30% of pregnancies naturally end in miscarriage, and an ultrasound can reveal this too. The ultrasound is a crucial step to inform how you should best proceed for yourself and your health.
What’s Next?
After receiving a pregnancy screening, you will have a one-on-one session with a licensed medical professional. You can have your questions and concerns addressed. If you’re still deciding, you can get a confidential options consultation. You will learn about abortion, adoption, and parenting and receive information about community resources and referrals we can provide. See us in person or start with a telehealth call.
