Your health should be a top priority as you navigate your pregnancy options and consider abortion. At Hands of Hope PRC, we provide the three things needed before an abortion: pregnancy testing, an ultrasound (if you qualify), and education on all your pregnancy options.
Get more information about your pregnancy and your options so you can make an informed and sound decision for your future. We’re here to help along the way.
1. A Positive Pregnancy Test
Getting a positive pregnancy test is your first step to clarity in your pregnancy journey. According to the Mayo Clinic, waiting to take a pregnancy test at least one day after your missed period is best for the most accurate results.
At Hands of Hope PRC, we can provide free self-administered, medical-grade pregnancy tests so you can confidently take your next steps. We can help you understand your pregnancy test result.
2. An Ultrasound
An ultrasound is vital to protect your health and your pregnancy. The FDA recommends medical abortion (the abortion pill) only for women through 10 weeks of pregnancy. Otherwise, surgical abortion may be your only other abortion option.
An ultrasound confirms three essential details of pregnancy, including:
- How far along you are (gestational age)
- The viability of your pregnancy (whether there is a heartbeat and the pregnancy is progressing)
- The location of your pregnancy (whether it’s located within your uterus)
At Hands of Hope PRC, we offer limited ultrasounds to women after they receive a positive pregnancy test result with us. A licensed sonographer performs the limited ultrasound, which can confirm a viable (progressing with a detectable heartbeat) pregnancy.
3. Pregnancy Options Education
Once you’ve clarified your pregnancy details, you can obtain more information about your pregnancy options.
If considering abortion, get the facts about the procedures, risks, and potential side effects. Some women experience ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage that disqualify them from an abortion procedure and require other medical treatment and care. This is why an ultrasound is essential.
