What if my boyfriend or parents call to see if I have/had an appointment?The Pregnancy Help Center has a strict privacy and confidentiality policy. All clients are protected from disclosure of information that violates your privacy except where required by law. (Please contact the center if you have questions regarding this.) Additionally, scheduling an appointment at the PHC does not require parental consent.
-
Can I bring a support person or my child/children to my appointment?We welcome you to bring your partner, a family member, or a friend. However, due to confidentiality, your support person will only be allowed to join you for certain portions of your appointment. Your support person will need to bring a photo ID. We encourage you to make other arrangements for children but understand that is not always possible. You do not have to cancel or reschedule an appointment if you need to bring your child/children.
-
I am under 18. Do I need to bring a Parent or do I have to have parental consent?No, the law states that you do not need parental consent or to have a parent with you at your appointment.
-
Do you do blood pregnancy tests?The Pregnancy Help Center provides medical grade urine-based pregnancy tests free of charge. They are administered by a licensed medical provider. Results are provided quickly and in a private and confidential manner.
-
My at-home pregnancy tests are negative, but can I still be pregnant?Yes. A pregnancy may be detected as early as 7-10 days after conception. The pregnancy hormone HCG doubles every 2-3 days during early pregnancy, so it is important that your test is confirmed by a licensed medical professional. However, up to 25% of women naturally miscarry before they even know they are pregnant.
-
A friend told me you talk about God?We hope that you find our care and concern for you and your challenges as a reflection of God’s deep love for you. Regardless of your religious beliefs or non-beliefs, you will be provided professional, loving, and respectful care.
Services include but are not limited to:
What Should I Expect?
You will be welcomed by one of our staff members who will walk you through the paperwork. We ask that you bring a Photo ID as we will make a copy to keep with your paperwork. Then, you will receive the following Free Services at your first appointment:
Medical
A licensed medical professional will administer a lab-quality urine pregnancy test and discuss your results as well as any medical questions you may have. At that point, she will determine whether you qualify for a limited ultrasound.
Education & Information
A client advocate will meet with you to discuss your plan and your options for your pregnancy. If you have not made a decision, she will educate you about all of your options and provide programs and resources offered by the PHC and/or other partners in the community.
Additionally, if you have brought your spouse, boyfriend, or a male friend, a male advocate will be available to help him understand his role, listen, offer advice, and talk through issues surrounding pregnancy.
