Here are the answers to some questions we receive regularly. But if you need more information or have an unrelated question, don’t hesitate to call 209-353-3247!

What insurances do you accept? Or how much do the services cost?

All of our services are FREE of charge! Yes, even the pregnancy testing, and the first-trimester ultrasound. We do not require any form of insurance or any payment for any of the services offered.

Do you accept walk-ins?

While we do accept walk-ins for pregnancy tests or enrolling in our classes, we recommend making an appointment to be sure you will be seen. Walk-in availability will always depend on pregnancy test appointments already booked and staffing capabilities. If our schedule is full, you can wait to see if the scheduled appointments actually show, or we can schedule you an appointment for another day.

What do I need to bring with me to my appointment?

Our services are all free of charge, so we do not require any payment or any insurance. The only thing we ask that you bring is a form of photo ID so we can have a copy for your file. This is for privacy purposes to ensure that the only one accessing your information is you.

I’m experiencing cramping and spotting. Is that normal?

Spotting or light bleeding occurs in about 20% of pregnancies and is not necessarily something to be concerned about. You should wear a panty liner or a pad to keep an eye on the amount of bleeding, and if you are worried you should go to the emergency room or call your doctor for guidance.

Cramping and bleeding can be symptoms of a miscarriage, which occurs in 15-20% of pregnancies. If the bleeding and cramping intensify, again, please go to the emergency room or call your doctor.
