Benefits of Ultrasound at a Women’s Center vs. Abortion Clinic

Are you weighing your options for your unexpected pregnancy? We know it can feel overwhelming and confusing at times, and we are here for you. You may have a lot of questions like “what is an ultrasound?” “how much does it cost?” and “what is the best time to receive one?” You may also be looking for a place where you can receive services and support for your next steps. It may be surprising to learn that a women’s center has more benefits than an abortion clinic when it comes to services other than abortion. Here’s more information about why you may want to visit one today.

Free Ultrasound Services 

Women’s centers around the country offer free limited ultrasound services because they care about women facing unexpected pregnancies. 

At abortion clinics, there are many fees that come into play, including costs for ultrasounds, appointments, and other service fees. When you’re unexpectedly pregnant, money can be tight, and finances can become a major stress point. 

At Avenue Women’s Center, our medical team offers free and confidential ultrasounds, pregnancy tests, and pregnancy consultations, so you feel prepared about whatever pregnancy decision you make. 

If you don’t know already, an ultrasound can act as a pre-abortion screening and lets you know if you are eligible for an abortion, and what type you may qualify for. An ultrasound confirms three important things about your pregnancy:

  1. If you have a viable pregnancy (if your pregnancy is likely to continue) 
  2. Reveals the location of your pregnancy (if it’s within your uterus)
  3. How far along your pregnancy is

An ultrasound helps you identify details about your pregnancy and any potential health complications or risks.

Education on all Your Options

While an abortion clinic is an option for women, abortions are their main service and source of revenue. This often means their primary mission is providing abortions. So, they may be lacking in other necessary pre-abortion services. For example, they may not offer extensive education on other pregnancy options, such as parenting or adoption.

At a women’s center, you can often receive information on all of your options. They also typically offer consultations to process your individual questions and concerns. Women deserve to know the ins and outs of every pregnancy option to feel fully confident in their decision.
