Experiencing an unexpected pregnancy can bring feelings of fear, anxiety, and confusion. But your first visit to Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic doesn’t have to feel the same way. Our team is ready to meet you right where you are—no judgment, no pressure, just unwavering support and care. And it starts from the very first moment you walk through our doors.
Read on to learn exactly what to expect, from the moment you decide to walk in to the end of your first appointment.
Making Your Appointment
Scheduling an appointment at Two Lines is simple. You can request an appointment on our website, where you’ll provide some basic information and select an available appointment time (which we’ll contact you to confirm). Or, you can schedule with us over the phone at 913-962-0200.
While scheduled appointments are helpful, they are not required. We welcome same-day walk-in appointments during business hours—if that’s more convenient for you, you are more than welcome!
We have support for both English- and Spanish-speakers at Two Lines. And appointments are always 100% private and confidential, regardless of age. If you are a minor, you can come in for a visit on your own. All your information will remain confidential.
Arriving at Two Lines
When you arrive at Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic, you’ll be greeted at our front desk by a welcoming receptionist. During check-in, there are a few forms to fill out. We’ll ask for information like the following:
- Contact information
- Medical history, including gynecological history, history of cycles and regularity. (It’s very helpful if you know the start date of your most recent cycle.)
- Pregnancy history
- What services you’re looking for—pregnancy confirmation, sonogram, STI or STD testing, abortion information, or other services
The amount of time this takes can vary, but typically it will take about 10 minutes to check in.
When you’re done checking in, with your consent, we’ll take a photo of you for our computer records. This photo is for internal clinic purposes only and will remain confidential, as will all the rest of your information.
Meeting with Your Client Advocate
Once your check-in is complete, a female Client Advocate will walk you back to the clinic area, a private space where you can share about your situation. A Client Advocate is someone who ensures that you receive the support, information, and resources you need. They are also available to answer any questions you may have. This initial meeting with the Client Advocate is one-on-one, with the intent of giving you the time and space you need to share openly and comfortably. If you’ve brought a support person along, they are welcome to wait in our lobby until they are invited to join you.
If your support person is the father of the baby, he will have the option of meeting with a male Client Advocate while you’re in your one-on-one meeting. This isn’t required, but it’s always available. Male Client Advocates offer support, information, and resources to men who visit Two Lines, just as the female Client Advocates do for women. It is our goal to set both of you up for success, no matter what comes next.
We typically recommend that a pregnancy test and an STI/STD screening be done during your appointment. All testing will be done by a nurse, and nothing will be done without your consent. Education and materials will be provided to help you understand the results of all tests administered.
Your Ultrasound
If your pregnancy test is positive and you’re eligible, an ultrasound is the next step. Ultrasounds at Two Lines are free of charge (as are all our services), and your support person is welcome to join you in the ultrasound room if you want.
During your ultrasound, you’ll receive solid medical information from your nurse and sonographer about what they’re seeing in the ultrasound. You’ll receive an explanation of what the ultrasound is showing, and they’ll be available to answer any questions you may have.
Take Your First Step
Every person who walks through our doors is a unique individual with a unique story. But because we’ve helped so many women at Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic, there’s a good chance that we’ve helped someone else in a situation similar to yours. We have the experience to come alongside you, guide you in areas where you feel uncertain, and remind you that you’re not alone.
If you’re ready to take your first step, we’re ready to meet you exactly where you are, with no judgment, only compassion and care. Head to our website to schedule your appointment today.
