Need a Free Ultrasound? What You Should Know First

Avail NYC exists to be a safe haven for women and men facing an unexpected pregnancy or seeking support after an abortion. We are not a medical provider.

Searching for a free ultrasound often happens during a moment filled with big questions and strong emotions. If you are feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or simply trying to understand your next step, it is okay to pause. You are not alone, and support is available.

Many people searching for a free or low-cost ultrasound are also facing an unexpected pregnancy and wondering what to do next. You may be gathering information, sorting through your options, or looking for someone safe to talk with. You do not have to carry that on your own.

While Avail does not provide ultrasounds or medical care, we offer free, confidential one-on-one support over Zoom and text. Our trained care experts can walk with you as you consider your next steps and, if helpful, point you toward trusted third-party medical providers in your area who may offer free or low-cost ultrasounds.

Why you might consider an ultrasound

After a positive pregnancy test from a medical provider or at home, an ultrasound is often one of the next steps a doctor may recommend. An ultrasound can help determine how far along a pregnancy is and whether it is developing in the uterus. In some cases, it may also identify concerns that need follow up care from a licensed medical professional.

Beyond medical information, many people find that having clearer answers helps ease some of the mental weight they are carrying. When everything feels uncertain, even a small amount of clarity can make the situation feel more manageable.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, ultrasounds are commonly performed around seven to eight weeks from the last menstrual period. A medical provider can explain what the results mean and what options may be available based on that information.

How to find a free or low-cost ultrasound near you

Free or low-cost ultrasounds are sometimes available through:

• Community health centers
• Pregnancy resource centers
• Hospital-based programs or public health clinics
• Local nonprofits that offer reproductive health services

Availability can vary based on location, gestational age, and whether a medical provider recommends the scan. If you are searching online for a free ultrasound near you, be sure to check whether the provider offers licensed medical care and whether results will be shared with you during your visit.



You deserve clear information and care that respects your values and needs.
