Afraid You Might Be Pregnant?

If you realize that you missed your period, you probably experienced immediate emotions of fear and confusion. While a missed period is the most common sign of pregnancy, it doesn’t always guarantee you are pregnant. In fact, 1 in 5 pregnancies end in natural miscarriages. It is best to come to Parkville Women’s Clinic to take a lab-quality test and to confirm the viability of the pregnancy with an ultrasound. If your test results turn out to be positive, our client advocates are here to discuss your next steps and options for your pregnancy.

Here at Parkville Women’s Clinic, our staff can talk with you about the dates of your cycle and help make a conclusion as to how long you have been pregnant. If you take a free pregnancy test at our clinic and the results are positive, you may be eligible for a free ultrasound to verify the date of your pregnancy.
