How to Prepare
Be prepared for your pregnancy conversation with your loved ones by first understanding your pregnancy details for yourself.
Start with a free self-administered pregnancy test at Gianna’s House today. If you receive a positive pregnancy test, we refer for ultrasounds at no cost to you. Ultrasounds are vital to confirming three important pregnancy details, including:
- How far along you are
- The location of your pregnancy (where it’s located within the uterus)
- Your pregnancy’s viability (if there’s a heartbeat & is progressing)
Ultrasounds can alert you to potential pregnancy complications such as miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. Get the clarity you need about your pregnancy before telling your boyfriend and family the news.
