When clients test positively for pregnancy, additional medical services are required, which include:
Screening Examinations
The screening medical exam consists of taking vital signs and a brief medical history to detect abnormal conditions that would need immediate attention.
Sonograms
Sonograms are offered to clients who are eight weeks or more along in the pregnancy.
When the client is considering an abortion or feeling pressured by relatives or friends, the sonogram is automatically done at no cost.
The sonogram will help clients understand that the fetus is a human life …a real baby in the hopes that clients will choose life for their unborn child.
Pregnancy Counseling
Pregnancy counseling teaches clients how to care for themselves during pregnancy.
We hope to improve the fetal mortality rate by identifying abnormalities that may warrant medical attention early in the pregnancy and health risks that may interfere with fetal development.
What You Should Expect
If your pregnancy test is positive, you are referred to the Medical Room after speaking to the counselor or client advocate. Specific activities include:
