Many times a pregnant teen may not know exactly how long she has been pregnant when her parents discover her pregnancy. This is especially common for younger teens.
An ultasound (or sonogram) can provide the age of the baby fairly accurately. If your OB/GYN is not able to see your pregnant daughter right away, your daughter may qualify for an ultrasound at a pregnancy resource center that provides limited medical services. Find your closest pregnancy resource centers by calling OptionLine at 800-395-HELP. Then find out if any of them offer ultrasound. Sometimes a pregnancy center that does not offer ultrasound directly at their facility can provide a referral to other resources that do offer ultrasound.
