LifeSpring services

LifeSpring provides a variety of free services,

so you can make an informed and empowered choice for your unplanned pregnancy!

NO COST.

NO JUDGMENT.

Free Pregnancy Tests

Have you missed your period? Are you experiencing pregnancy symptoms? Perhaps you’ve already taken a pregnancy test at home, but want a second opinion.

LifeSpring provides free pregnancy tests so you can be certain you’re pregnant. Results are 99% accurate and 100% confidential.

Free Ultrasounds

Ultrasounds provide vital information about your pregnancy! Ultrasounds confirm:

Gestational Age

Your free ultrasound at LifeSpring can tell you how far along you are in your pregnancy. This is important to know, as Virginia abortion law prohibits abortion beyond the third trimester (27 weeks) of pregnancy. Your options for the abortion pill versus surgical abortions are based on how far along you are in your pregnancy.

Normal Pregnancy vs. Miscarriage

Approximately 15-20% of pregnancies end in miscarriage. Women may still have pregnancy symptoms even with an abnormal pregnancy. If a heartbeat can’t be detected during your ultrasound, it’s possible that you may have had a miscarriage. If the viability of your pregnancy is unclear, you will be referred to appropriate medical services.

Normal Pregnancy vs. Ectopic Pregnancy

In rare cases, the fertilized egg may implant outside of the uterus, such as on an ovary or in a fallopian tube. This is known as ectopic pregnancy and requires immediate medical care. If left untreated, the affected area can rupture, causing shock and internal bleeding. If the location of your pregnancy is not clear after your ultrasound, you will be referred to appropriate medical services.

Schedule your free ultrasound at LifeSpring, so that you know what options are available for you.
