Things to Consider before an Abortion
- Am I Really Pregnant? And if so, is my pregnancy viable (living)? Is there a heartbeat? Am I at risk for a natural miscarriage?
- Do you know what the laws in Missouri are regarding abortion?
There are 2 things to verify before scheduling an abortion: a positive pregnancy and a viable pregnancy. At Hand’n Hand Women’s Center, we offer free lab-quality pregnancy tests to confirm your pregnancy. If you are pregnant, we will offer you a free ultrasound to confirm if your baby is viable (living) and is in the uterus (as opposed to a tubal pregnancy). You may be unaware that 20% of women experience natural miscarriage in the first trimester1 (first 12 weeks) of pregnancy, so an ultrasound is the first step prior to scheduling any medical procedure. Your risk can be best assessed through ultrasound.
