If you recently took a pregnancy test and saw a positive result, you might be feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or even scared. This is a big moment, and it’s completely normal to have a range of emotions. 

However, the most important thing you can do right now is take your time and gather the information you need to make a fully informed pregnancy decision.

Confirm Your Pregnancy with a Lab-Quality Test

Home pregnancy tests can be accurate, but it’s always best to confirm your results with a lab-quality test. 

At Soundview Pregnancy Services, we provide access to on-site medical-grade pregnancy testing to ensure the most reliable results. This step is essential in confirming your pregnancy before making any further decisions.

Our pregnancy testing is performed by on-site, independent medical professionals who will explain your results in a safe, supportive space.

Get a Limited Ultrasound

If your pregnancy test result is positive, the next step is a limited ultrasound. This simple scan provides critical details that you need to know, including:

• How far along you are (gestational age)
• If the pregnancy is viable (detecting a heartbeat)
• If the pregnancy is ectopic (developing outside the uterus, which is life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention)

Having this information allows you to fully understand your situation and consider your options with clarity.

We also offer access to  free, limited ultrasounds performed onsite by our independent medical professionals.

No matter what emotions you are experiencing, you don’t have to face this alone. Soundview is here to provide free care, accurate information, and confidential support.
