How many weeks pregnant do I need to be for an ultrasound?
About six weeks from the first day of your last period is when an early scan usually shows what it’s looking for, per Cleveland Clinic. You can take a pregnancy test with us before then.
Is there any cost for the pregnancy test or the ultrasound?
No. Both are free. See what else we offer, or call us to set a time.
Do I need an ultrasound before an abortion in Iowa?
Iowa sets rules by stage of pregnancy. There are separate rules for minors. Those rules have changed in the last few years, so read the current text at the Iowa Legislature rather than an older article or a directory listing. An ultrasound is how you learn the stage. The stage drives both what the rules say and what’s medically available. An early scan also shows where the pregnancy is growing (Cleveland Clinic).
Which towns near Storm Lake do you serve?
Storm Lake and the rest of Buena Vista County, including Alta, Newell, Sioux Rapids, Albert City, Lakeside and Truesdale. We also see people from the counties around it.
Common questions
Do I need an appointment for a free ultrasound?
Yes. Call us to set one up.
My home test was negative but I still feel pregnant. What now?
Test again with us. It’s worth waiting about a week after the first one. A test taken too early can read negative while the pregnancy hormone is still climbing.
Do you perform or refer for abortion?
No. We provide free pregnancy tests, ultrasound and factual information about your options.
