Free and Confidential Ultrasounds at Choice Care

A Pregnancy Test Tells You What Happened. An Ultrasound Tells You What’s Happening Now.

If you’ve had a positive pregnancy test, the next step is getting an ultrasound. Why? Because an ultrasound gives you real-time information about your pregnancy—helping you make informed decisions and take the next steps in your healthcare. At Choice Care, we offer FREE and confidential ultrasounds performed by trained medical professionals in a safe, judgment-free space.

What does an ultrasound do?

An ultrasound creates an image of what’s happening inside your body, using safe, painless sound waves (no radiation involved!). Here’s how it works:
  • A trained sonographer applies gel to your abdomen.
  • A hand-held device (called a transducer) glides over your belly, sending sound waves into your body.
  • The sound waves bounce back and create an image of your uterus and pregnancy on a screen.
  • Our medical team will explain everything you’re seeing and answer any questions you have.

Why Do I Need an Ultrasound?

A positive pregnancy test tells you that you’re pregnant, but it doesn’t tell you if your pregnancy is developing normally. That’s where an ultrasound comes in. Up to 20% of known pregnancies end on their own, and sometimes your body still produces pregnancy hormones even if the pregnancy isn’t viable. An ultrasound is the only way to confirm if your pregnancy is progressing.
An ultrasound answers three key questions:
  1. Is the pregnancy viable? – Is there a heartbeat? Is the pregnancy developing?
  2. How far along are you? – This helps determine your options and next steps.
  3. Where is the pregnancy located? – In rare cases, a pregnancy can grow outside the uterus (ectopic pregnancy), which is dangerous and requires immediate medical attention.
If you’re considering abortion, knowing how far along you are is critical because it determines the type of procedure available to you.

Types of Ultrasounds We Offer

At Choice Care, we provide limited obstetrical ultrasounds to confirm pregnancy and provide important health information.
  • Abdominal Ultrasound – A device is moved across your belly to create an image of your pregnancy. For the best results, we may ask you to drink water beforehand.
  • Transvaginal Ultrasound (if needed) – A small device is inserted vaginally to get a clearer image in early pregnancy. This is only done when necessary and with your consent.
Our ultrasounds do not determine gender or diagnose abnormalities, but they do give you vital information to help you move forward with confidence.

How to Prepare for Your Appointment

  • Wear loose-fitting clothing for easy access to your abdomen.
  • Drink plenty of water before your appointment to help get a clearer ultrasound image.
  • If you’re early in your pregnancy, we may schedule an additional ultrasound a little later to ensure we can get a clear image.
