Pregnancy Testing

If you are requesting a pregnancy testing, you may walk in to the clinic between 07:30 -3:30 for a serum HCG. This is a hormone that is released when a fertilized egg implants into the uterus. Usually 6 days after conception. If results are positive or you have a positive home pregnancy test and you need an appointment to begin prenatal care, you can call:

• Fort Belvoir Community Hospital, Ob/Gyn Clinic: 571-231-3442 / 3446
• Bethesda Naval Hospital Ob/Gyn Clinic: 301-319-4471
• Malcolm Grow, Andrew’s Air Force Base, Ob/Gyn Clinic (you will need a referral)

You can better prepare for a healthy pregnancy and outcome by healthy eating, taking your vitamins, decrease stress, exercise 4-5 times a week, if you smoke (stop), minimize alcohol intake, make sure you are at your optimal weight, make sure your immunizations are up to date, limit your exposure to infectious adults and children.
