3 Reasons to Visit a Pregnancy Center Before Getting an Abortion

Determining next steps for you and your unplanned pregnancy can be difficult. Thankfully, you’re not alone as you make this challenging choice for your future.

Whether you’re looking for more information on your abortion options or are in need of other pregnancy support and referrals, Soundview Pregnancy Services is here to help!

Here are 3 reasons to visit a pregnancy center before getting an abortion:

1. Access free pregnancy testing to confirm your pregnancy

Have you taken a pregnancy test at home? We recommend scheduling an appointment to receive free pregnancy testing through an independent, onsite medical office. These tests measure the HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) levels in urine to reveal if you are pregnant.

If your test comes back positive, we’ll answer any questions you have and help you schedule an ultrasound, if eligible, through an independent, onsite medical office. (You may be wondering, “I’m getting an abortion — Why do I need an ultrasound?” Keep reading!)

2. If eligible, you can receive a free ultrasound through an independent, onsite medical office to help identify potential complications

Regardless of the pregnancy option you’re considering, we recommend getting an ultrasound. This can help you understand your eligibility for various abortion procedures and identify medical conditions that may require further care.

Knowing the gestational age can help determine whether you may be eligible for a medical or surgical abortion and help you understand the costs you might face. Additionally, an ultrasound can confirm that the pregnancy is developing in the uterus. If your pregnancy is developing outside of the uterus, this is considered an ectopic pregnancy and you’ll want to seek treatment right away.

3. You’ll have access to a listening ear and coaching on all of your pregnancy options

Once you’ve gathered information about your unique pregnancy, your local pregnancy center staff will provide you with a safe space to process your feelings, ask questions about abortion procedures, and receive coaching about your pregnancy options.

As you decide what’s best for you and your pregnancy, it’s important to explore your feelings — fears, worries, anxiety — and take time to understand the pros and cons of each pregnancy option.

Most importantly, the staff at Soundview Pregnancy Services is here to remind you you’re not alone in this process.
