What are the different types of ultrasounds?
Ultrasound is a type of imaging technology that uses sound waves to create images. The sound waves bounce off of your baby’s tissues, fluids, and bones, and the transducer (or wand) then picks up these echos and translates them into the image of your baby you see on the screen.
There are two types of ultrasounds:
- The abdominal ultrasound is a standard procedure that uses a transducer over the abdomen to show the developing baby’s images.
- A transvaginal ultrasound is designed to be used inside the vagina to generate sonogram images. This type is most generally used during the early stages of pregnancy.
Depending on how far along you are in your pregnancy, our nurse sonographer may choose to perform both types with your consent. At the time of your initial appointment, our nurse will determine if you are eligible for an ultrasound. If not, one may be scheduled for another day.

The services provided to you by our center are made possibly by individuals, businesses, and local churches who care about you and what you are going through. We are a faith-based organization & hope to empower you to confidently choose life for your baby, but we also recognize & respect that it’s your choice. We offer non-judgmental ongoing support for you for all three different options for your pregnancy.
You need to bring a photo ID. Having a full bladder is recommended if receiving a pregnancy test or limited ultrasound.
Our tests are professional medical-grade quality, urine pregnancy tests administered by our licensed medical professionals. If the test is positive, we can provide a confirmation of pregnancy.
Please allow anywhere from 45 to 90 minutes for your appointment. Our administrative assistant can give you a better idea of how much time your appointment will take depending on the services you request when scheduling.
You can bring your partner, a family member, or friend. First, we will talk with you privately. Then if you give us consent to have your support person in the room, your guest will be able to join you for certain portions of your appointment—including the ultrasound. However, due to our strict confidentiality policy, there will be times we need to speak to you privately. Also, we encourage you to make other arrangements for your children but understand sometimes that may not be possible. Children are welcome to stay with a responsible person in our waiting area.
Our medical services do not include testing for STD/STI’s. Our caring medical staff can educate you on the different types of STD/STI’s and how they can affect your pregnancy. Then provide a referral to a local medical facility that can provide testing for you.
We adhere to a strict privacy and confidentiality policy. Clients are protected from disclosure of information that violates their right to privacy except where required by law, required for public health reasons, required to avert a threat of harm to the client or a third person, or when other circumstances may reasonably warrant such use or disclosure without prior authorization (e.g., abuse reporting, suicide/homicide prevention, etc.)
