Free & Confidential Services in Northridge, California


1. FREE CLINICAL PREGNANCY TESTING

Your first step to take before an abortion is a pregnancy test. This may sound like a simple and obvious step, but even if an at-home test came back positive, it’s important to have a clinical pregnancy test performed by a medical professional. The Open Arms Pregnancy Clinic offers free and confidential clinical pregnancy testing.

2. FREE ULTRASOUND

This next step of having an ultrasound exam provides vital information to have as part of your decision-making process. Open Arms offers free limited OB ultrasound exams. This ultrasound will reveal how far along you are in your pregnancy and whether or not your pregnancy is viable.  If the pregnancy is located outside of the uterus, it’s called an ectopic pregnancy and is not viable.  This is potentially life-threatening to the maternal patient and must be treated immediately.


3. FREE OPTIONS COUNSELING

Once you have a viable pregnancy confirmed and know exactly how far along you are in your pregnancy, the next step is to explore all three options – abortion, adoption, and parenting. Deciding to move forward with any of these options is a big decision, but you don’t have to face this decision alone. We are here to help.
