The primary symptom of pregnancy¹ is missing 1 or more menstrual periods, but women often experience other symptoms prior to a missed period. Some of these are similar to pre-menstrual symptoms such as swollen or tender breasts, slight bleeding, and mood swings. Other symptoms include nausea/vomiting, headaches, fatigue, food cravings/aversions or frequent urination. These symptoms vary from woman to woman, so it is possible to experience one or several of these symptoms. It is best to confirm your pregnancy with a lab quality pregnancy test.

It is recommended that you have a home test verified by our lab quality urine pregnancy tests. (we do not provide blood tests). If your test is positive, we can then offer you an ultrasound to determine 3 things: if the pregnancy is viable (living), the gestational age (how far along you are) and that the pregnancy is located in the uterus. This is a necessary step in making a decision that is best for you.

If you are considering abortion, Towson Women’s Care will confirm your pregnancy with a pregnancy test and will offer an ultrasound to determine if your pregnancy is viable. 10-20% of all pregnancies end in natural miscarriage, so many times an abortion is not necessary. If your pregnancy is viable, we will provide you with up-to-date information on all of your options in a confidential manner. We do not provide abortions at our center, but will discuss your options so you can make an informed decision.

You will need to bring your driver’s license or other form of identification.
