How Early Can You Get an Ultrasound
At TLC of Hastings, ultrasounds are typically available after six weeks of pregnancy.
That’s when an abdominal ultrasound can clearly show the location of the pregnancy and a developing heartbeat.
If you’ve had a positive pregnancy test, our trained staff can schedule your free ultrasound to confirm your pregnancy and provide accurate dating.
What an Early Ultrasound Shows
An early ultrasound provides important information, such as:
- Viability – confirming that the pregnancy is progressing normally
- Gestational age – determining how far along you are
- Location – making sure the pregnancy is in the uterus (not ectopic)
Knowing this information helps you make informed decisions about your next steps.
Why Ultrasounds Matter
Getting an early ultrasound helps ensure your safety and peace of mind. It also gives you the knowledge to explore your options confidently.
TLC’s medical staff performs ultrasounds free of charge and explains every detail in a supportive, judgment-free environment.

- Can you get an ultrasound before six weeks?
Before six weeks, it’s often too early to detect a heartbeat or clear image, so waiting until after six weeks provides more accurate results. - Is an ultrasound included with a free pregnancy test?
Yes. If your TLC pregnancy test is positive, you may qualify for a free ultrasound appointment. - Do I need insurance?
No. All TLC services are free and confidential; no insurance or payment is required.
