Pregnancy confirmation ultrasound in Glendale, Los Angeles County
Positive test? See it for yourself.
A line on a test is a start. Seeing your pregnancy on a big screen is something else. Our Pregnancy Check is a private ultrasound from 5 weeks, earlier than most studios will see you, booked online, and we can often see you the same day.

From a line on a test to a picture
Three steps, and the first one takes a minute online.
A test, a look, and your doctor
Each one answers a different question. You’ll want all three.
A home test
Picks up the pregnancy hormone, usually before an ultrasound can show anything at all. It’s how most people find out.
A Pregnancy Check with us
Adds the part a test can’t: seeing it, on a big screen, with the people you choose. Private, quick, and often the same day.
Your doctor or midwife
Dates your pregnancy, checks that you and your baby are healthy, and sees you for prenatal care. If your test is positive, book that appointment too.
When to come
From 5 weeks of pregnancy. Around then a scan may show the pregnancy sac; the flicker of a heartbeat is usually there from about 6 weeks, and the first wriggles from about 10. If it turns out to be too early to see much, the second look is almost always free.
Same-day appointments are often available. Open Mon–Sat 10am–5pm and Sun 10am–3pm, by appointment.
Already past 12 weeks? From 13 you can find out boy or girl, and hear the heartbeat, at a Gender Confirmation. Work out your dates.
Before your first look
Eight guides for after a positive test: what a test and a scan each show, how far along you are, when care starts, and what helps if you’ve had a loss or a scan raises questions.
Home pregnancy test or ultrasound: what each one tells you
What a home test can tell you, what a medical scan adds, and when each one makes sense.
How early can an ultrasound see a pregnancy?
What shows first, week by week, and why it’s so often too early to see.
When can you see the heartbeat on an ultrasound?
The week to book if the heartbeat matters, and why you see it before you can hear it.
How far along am I? Why your test, app and ultrasound dates differ
Why your test, app and scan can disagree, and which date doctors use.
Why your first prenatal appointment isn’t until 8 to 12 weeks
What the wait is for, who shouldn’t wait, and what to do until then.
Pregnant after a loss: seeing your baby early
The care you may be offered, what to ask for at a scan, and where to find support.
No heartbeat on an early ultrasound: what it can mean and what happens next
What it can mean, how doctors tell early from a loss, and what happens next.
Measuring behind on your first ultrasound: what it can mean
How a measurement becomes a date, why late ovulation shifts it, and what only a doctor can say.
Questions after a positive test
How soon after a positive test can I come?
From 5 weeks, counted from the first day of your last period. Very early on a pregnancy can be too small to show much, and every pregnancy is different, so if there isn’t much to see yet, you come back for a second look. Not sure of your weeks? Call (818) 243-7010 and we’ll work it out together.
Do I need to see my doctor first?
No. You book with us directly, with no referral and no insurance. A visit here doesn’t replace your doctor or midwife, though: book your first prenatal appointment too.
Is an ultrasound more accurate than a home pregnancy test?
They answer different questions. A home test picks up the pregnancy hormone, usually before an ultrasound can show anything at all. A Pregnancy Check adds the part a test can’t: seeing it. If your test is positive, your doctor or midwife is still your next call.
Can you tell me how far along I am?
No. Your doctor or midwife dates the pregnancy, at a medical scan.
What if you can’t see anything?
Very early on, that’s common: a pregnancy can be too small to show up yet. We tell you what we could and couldn’t see, and you come back for a second look, almost always at no charge. If you’re worried in the meantime, call your doctor or midwife.
Is it private?
Yes. Visits are by appointment, and the viewing room is yours for your session, with only the people you bring.
How much is it?
A Pregnancy Check is $100, with 8 black-and-white prints and a follow-up visit, if needed.
