Ultrasound Referrals
The Pregnancy Support Center of Caddo County does not do ultrasounds in Anadarko. However we do provide an appointment for a free ultrasound at the Chickasha Women’s Center in Chickasha, just 20 minutes away. We even provide transportation if needed.
We provide free ultrasound Referrals for a variety of reasons. Ultrasounds are an excellent way to determine whether a pregnancy is healthy and viable, as well as approximately how old it is. This information is very important to have when you’re considering your options for your pregnancy.
Knowing if your pregnancy is viable is important. Approximately 25% of pregnancies naturally self-terminate. An ultrasound can help us tell if your pregnancy is at risk of miscarriage. It can also tell us if your pregnancy is ectopic – if the embryo is growing somewhere other than your uterus. In some cases a pregnancy can start in your fallopian tubes (known as a tubal pregnancy) or in your cervix. These pregnancies are not viable, and they also pose a significant health risk to the mother. It’s important to determine early if your pregnancy is viable for these reasons.
An ultrasound can also tell approximately how far along your pregnancy is. Big changes happen in your pregnancy week by week, and a free ultrasound can give us a lot of information on fetal development. If you are considering an abortion, your options change depending on how long you have been pregnant. Our goal is to give you the most accurate information so you can make an informed decision about your pregnancy.
Please note that the Chickasha Women’s Center does not do ultrasounds to determine the sex of your pregnancy. Some restrictions apply to our free ultrasound program.
If you need transportation for your appointment, we will pay for you to ride Kiowa Fastrans.
