Can I bring my partner to the appointment? Yes! We encourage you to bring your partner, friend, relative, or other support person to your appointment if that makes you feel most comfortable. You can also choose to come alone. Our goal is for you to feel most comfortable.
How much do you charge for your services? Nothing! The Legacy Center offers all appointments, services, and resources free of charge because we believe that cost should never be a barrier for women to receive essential health services and information.
When should I take a pregnancy test? Did you miss your period or begin noticing potential pregnancy symptoms? These are all reasons to take a pregnancy test, but it's vital to test at the right time to ensure the most accurate results. The best time to take a pregnancy test is after your missed period. If you test too soon, you may receive a false-negative result. The Legacy Center of Mount Airy offers free, medical-grade pregnancy testing. We can help answer your questions and explain your results.
Why do I need an ultrasound? An ultrasound provides information that a pregnancy test alone cannot. This essential scan will confirm you're pregnant (and haven't miscarried) and also tell you how far along you are (gestational age). It will also verify the location of your pregnancy to screen for ectopic pregnancy, which is vital for your health. At The Legacy Center, we offer free, limited ultrasound referrals.
I’m pregnant. What are my options? If you recently found out you're pregnant, it's important to know that you have options. These options include parenting, adoption, and abortion. The more you know about these options, the more you will feel empowered to make the best decision. Visit us for a free and confidential Options Consultation appointment. This appointment will answer all your questions and provide medically accurate information to help you feel educated and supported.
