Our No-Cost Services
Confidential, Medical Grade Pregnancy Tests
If you have had sex — protected or unprotected — and think that you may be pregnant, a pregnancy test is the first step to find out.
A good next step is to get your free, confidential, medical grade pregnancy test at our center to confirm if you are pregnant. Call us to schedule your intake appointment, where we will give you a medical test and talk through your options and next steps.
Limited OB Ultrasounds
We offer limited OB ultrasounds at both of our centers at no cost to you. These ultrasounds confirm viable pregnancy and how far along you are. Ultrasounds are important for the health and safety of any pregnant woman, but especially those who are considering having an abortion. Ultrasounds screen for ectopic pregnancy, which is a life-threatening condition where the pregnancy grows outside of your uterus. The abortion pill does not work on ectopic pregnancies. Call us to set up an intake and ultrasound appointment.
Options Education & Counseling
If your pregnancy is confirmed, we are here to walk you through all of your pregnancy options. It is vital for you to know the risks and rewards of every option before making a permanent decision. Our compassionate advocates are available for confidential and nonjudgmental conversations with you. We are committed to listening to your concerns, providing you with accurate information and equipping you with resources to make the best decision for you.
Community Assistance Referrals
Sometimes you need more than just resources specific to your situation, and we understand that. Other local organizations have partnered with us to help provide you with medical care, WIC, mental health services, job connections and training, addiction help, housing assistance and other services you may need. We have resource lists for Oconee and Pickens Counties in both of our centers.
Pregnancy & Parenting Education & Resources
For those who stay in our program, biweekly prenatal or parenting education appointments will consist of conversation, encouragement, counseling, connecting you with resources, an educational video, and shopping in our boutique. We can teach you the basic fundamentals of parenting — from pregnancy to childbirth and through child development. We are happy to help you with diapers, wipes, bottles, formula and more while you are part of our “earn while you learn” program. For every appointment you attend, you will get to shop for 5 free items in our Baby Boutique. Our boutique is stocked with baby clothes, baby food, blankets, and much more. To earn large items such as a baby bundle, pack and play, or car seat, you must be committed to completing your program and consistently show up to your appointments.
