Five Reasons to Start at Alternatives Laurel Highlands Pregnancy Care

Free Pregnancy Services

Not sure if you are pregnant or if the pregnancy is viable or if you are at risk for a natural miscarriage? Start with us! Pregnancy testing is free, and the results are quick. We provide onsite lab-grade pregnancy tests at no cost to you. If the test is positive, we can offer a free ultrasound to confirm how far along you are and if the pregnancy is viable. This information is vital as it can influence the type and cost of an abortion.

While CVS and other pharmacies offer over-the-counter pregnancy tests, they lack comprehensive follow-up care and confirmation. Planned Parenthood charges a small fee for pregnancy tests as well.

Medical Guidance

Discussing your options and health history with a licensed medical professional before deciding is essential. Every woman’s body and experience are unique; your health and safety should always come first. We offer no-cost appointments with a medical professional where you can discuss your medical history, any medications you are on, and allergies to mifepristone or misoprostol, the two most common drugs in the abortion pill regimen. We also confirm a viable pregnancy. It’s also important to rule out an ectopic pregnancy, get tested for STDs, and find out if you are Rh-negative.

While CVS is a great option for general health needs, they do not provide consultations on pregnancy or abortion, what to expect if you take abortion pills, side effects, or go over your health history and eligibility. Planned Parenthood offers consultations but often requires payment before speaking with a medical professional. We believe you deserve these critical consultations at no cost, ensuring you receive the necessary information to make an informed decision regarding your pregnancy.

Pressure-Free

Alternatives Laurel Highlands Pregnancy Care believes women deserve to make decisions without coercion or a sales pitch. Abortion is big business, but we put women first here.
