Our pregnancy tests are over 99% accurate, and measure a hormone called Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) found in urine and blood very early in pregnancy. Verification of a positive test result will be provided to help you establish insurance for your pregnancy.
Once you visit with one of our Client Advocates, and your pregnancy test at Hope is positive, you may be scheduled for a limited first trimester ultrasound. Your ultrasound appointment may or may not be the same day as your initial visit. Our ultrasound examinations are solely for the purpose of evaluating whether your pregnancy is intrauterine, identifying the presence of cardiac activity, and measuring gestational age. It will not diagnose gender nor abnormalities.
We provide information about pregnancy and pregnancy options (parenting, abortion, adoption), and an opportunity to learn, talk about, and ask questions regarding your situation with a trained Client Advocate. We provide peer advocacy for one or both expecting parents. No matter what you decide, Hope will be available to serve and assist you during this important time in your life.
Using the highly respected Earn While You Learn curriculum, Hope’s Gathering is a community-building parenting class, connecting participants with Mentor Moms, while teaching the essential skills for a healthy pregnancy and childbirth experience. Students are equipped with information and resources that can provide an abundant life for their children, and earn Baby Bucks to exchange for new baby items in our Baby Boutique.
Your Client Advocate will be able to provide you with community referrals that may help with your immediate concerns and needs. Brazos Valley has several organizations that cover a wide range of services for women experiencing unplanned pregnancies, including assistance in obtaining prenatal medical services.
Have you had an abortion, or been involved in someone else’s decision to have an abortion? Perhaps you were excluded from an abortion decision made by your partner or loved one. As people who have been in your shoes, we know that abortion can lead to sense of loss or grieving. We can help you talk through these feelings in your appointment, or, for more in depth discussion, help you find hope and healing in a ten-week group or one-on-one study using God’s Word as a guide.
