Pregnancy Tests
We provide women with pregnancy tests. They are greater than 99% accurate, and are effective just 10 days after conception. Test results can be read in four minutes. Call to schedule an appointment.


Ultrasounds
All ultrasounds at CareNet are physician-attended. Many women appreciate the opportunity to consult directly with a physician, and learn whether or not her pregnancy is viable (expected to continue normally). Ultrasounds also reveal how many weeks into a pregnancy a woman is, which often helps with her decision-making.

Ultrasounds work using high-frequency sound waves, which are transmitted into the woman and reflected back through a transducer. Ultrasounds are renowned for providing high accuracy without pain. They have been used for over 30 years, and no risks have been identified with their use.

Practical Ongoing Support
Emotional support is always available at our centers. Pregnancy is often a time filled with fears, uncertainty, and pressures. Meeting with a peer counselor can help you sort through your stresses.

Women who decide to parent can receive material goods at our centers. These goods include diapers, cribs, car seats, baby & maternity clothes, formula…all the items a baby requires. In order to receive material support, clients participate in our Bridges program. Call to schedule an appointment to sign up for the Bridges program.

Post-abortion support
Some women experience negative psychological effects following an abortion. The symptoms vary, but may include depression, anger, psychological numbing, and grief. Some doctors call this Post-Abortion Stress (PAS).

If you are concerned that you may experience PAS after your abortion, please call us for more information. If you are already feeling these effects, we offer individual or group support. Call 630-599-0043 to schedule an appointment.
