Positive Pregnancy Test? Now What?

So after debating your suspicions you took a home pregnancy test.  You may be experiencing a wide range of emotions depending on the result.  If your result was positive you may be wondering what to do next.  One of the most informative options available to our clients is ultrasound.  One of our peer counselors will be there every step of the way to explain the process and support you before, during, and after your scan.  The use of an ultrasound by our trained nurses is incredibly helpful in determining whether your pregnancy is viable or not.  In other words, is the baby located in the uterus.  Ultrasound scans can also help to pinpoint your baby's approximate gestational age and heart rate.  Following your ultrasound the peer counselor will discuss all of the risks and benefits of the options available to you.  Being fully informed is the best way to insure you are making the best decisions for you and your baby.  Having a baby can be both a wonderful and frightening time.  It's important to remember that no matter what, you are not alone.  We are here to help.  If you would like to schedule an ultrasound appointment, please call our office at 641-424-2237.
