It can be tempting to want to do everything on your own as you navigate an unplanned pregnancy, especially if you know your parents won’t react well to the news.
According to Connecticut law, minors can get an abortion in Connecticut without parental consent. It’s important to note that those under the age of 16 are required by law to get counseling during their abortion care visit.
No matter what you decide, safeguard your health with pregnancy confirmation at our center today, completely free and confidential. To choose abortion without understanding if you are experiencing pregnancy complications or are unaware of how far along you are could put your health at serious risk.
Protect Your Health
A positive pregnancy test is not enough when it comes to pregnancy confirmation. An ultrasound is needed to protect your health by confirming where your pregnancy stands.
An ultrasound will confirm the following three vital pregnancy details that will determine what type of abortion (if any) you are eligible for:
- How far along you are (gestational age)
- The viability of your pregnancy (if there’s a heartbeat & pregnancy is progressing)
- The location of your pregnancy (whether it’s located within the uterus or not)
Ultrasounds can also alert you to potential pregnancy complications like miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. In these cases, you would not be eligible for abortion but would want to seek medical attention right away.
Our caring team at Hopeline offers both free and confidential pregnancy testing and ultrasound so you can learn the facts about your unique pregnancy.
