Future Midwife Raelene performing an examination of the placenta.

This umbilical cord was 36” long! That’s 3 feet!

The average umbilical cord is 20-24”, so this was a neat find! Only about 5% of umbilical cords are longer than 26”, and this one was was 10” beyond that.

If the mom is comfortable with it, we perform the placenta examination bedside and give a tour of the wonderful organ that her body grew!

Confirmation of Pregnancy Appointments

Our Confirmation of Pregnancy appointment is for individuals who are not yet established with a provider and would like medical confirmation of a suspected pregnancy. This visit can include a urine pregnancy test and, depending on the option you choose, bloodwork and/or a limited ultrasound.

During this appointment, we will:
• Confirm pregnancy using a urine hCG test
• Offer quantitative bloodwork (hCG levels) when indicated
• Offer a limited ultrasound to assess for an intrauterine pregnancy and estimate gestational age (capabilities limited to gestational age)
• Review your health history and last menstrual period
• Discuss next steps for care, discuss resources, and options for ongoing prenatal services

This appointment is focused on confirming pregnancy and providing early information. It is not a full prenatal intake visit. Established prenatal clients receive pregnancy confirmation, labs, and ultrasound as part of their comprehensive intake appointment.

Whether you are early in pregnancy, unsure of your dates, or simply need faster medical confirmation, this visit provides a supportive, low-pressure way to get clear answers and guidance on what comes next.

We Accept Medicaid Insurance. For those without Medicaid, the cost of this visit is $50.

Looks like the snow is starting to melt!

If being snowed in lead to extracurricular activities, don’t forget to call us to schedule your intake appointment next month 😉

Students Mary and Raelene decided to make gift bags for those that participated in the volunteer ultrasounds yesterday.

They made more, too! They have something nice cooking up for families in care. Stay tuned!
