What Do I Need to Know If I Am Pregnant in High School?
If you’re pregnant in high school, you are not alone. Many women have been in your shoes before. While you may be trying to figure out how to break the news to your partner and family, there are a couple of steps to take to get answers.
Before moving forward, you will need to know where your pregnancy stands, and what pregnancy options you have. At Nova Women’s Health, we can provide this kind of support and answers at no cost to you.
Know Where Your Pregnancy Stands
Confirming your pregnancy details is the first step of the process. Not only will you want to take a pregnancy test, but an ultrasound is a necessity to safeguard your health.
Pregnancy Testing
According to the Mayo Clinic, the most accurate time to take a pregnancy test is to wait at least a day after your first missed period. Waiting a little bit will give the pregnancy hormone time to rise to a detectable level if you are indeed pregnant.
We offer no-cost lab-quality pregnancy testing at Nova Women’s Health. Our medical staff is here to walk you through it and help you determine the results.
Ultrasound
An ultrasound confirms three vital pregnancy details to determine what options you have, including:
- How far along you are (gestational age)
- Your pregnancy location (whether it’s located within the uterus)
- Your pregnancy viability (if there’s a heartbeat & pregnancy is progressing)
If your pregnancy test is positive at Nova Women’s Health, you qualify for a free limited obstetrical ultrasound.
