If you won't be getting an ultrasound from your doctor for a long time, and you JUST can't wait, there are some ways you can get an ultrasound anyway! Paying for an elective ultrasound out of pocket can be expensive! However, there are a few steps you can take to get a free ultrasound!

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Look for local pregnancy centers in your town such as the Crisis Pregnancy Center, Keim Center, Planned Parenthood, etc.. When you contact them, let them know that you are pregnant and would like an ultrasound. Many times they will give one to you for free! Sometimes you have to qualify for an ultrasound. They will usually give you a pregnancy test first to be positive that you really are pregnant.

  2. Step 2

    Check with your local health department. Sometimes they can give you an ultrasound or refer you to a place where you can get one. They may only do this if you do not have health insurance, or they may go on your household income. It does not hurt to ask though, so don't be shy!

  3. Step 3

    Look into your local medical schools or ultrasound tech programs. MANY times they will offer free ultrasounds to pregnant women. The students need a real pregnant woman to try on and you want a free ultrasound, so it is a win-win situation.
