Our health information.

First Coast Women’s Services publishes pregnancy information to help you prepare questions and understand your next steps. Website information does not replace care from a qualified healthcare professional.

Who wrote an article?

A named contributor is identified in the article byline, with a link to their biography. Other articles are attributed to First Coast Women’s Services. An author’s contribution to one article does not mean they reviewed every page on this site.

Meet our contributing authors: Dr. Jason Phillips and Dr. Emily Balanky.

Medical review

When a completed medical review is documented for an article, we identify the reviewer, their credentials, and the date of that review on the article. A physician byline identifies its author; it is not a claim that all articles have been medically reviewed.

Dates and sources

Articles display their original publication date. When an updated date is available, it is shown separately. An update date is not a medical-review date. Follow the source links in an article to check the underlying information; medical guidance and legal requirements can change.

What services does FCWS provide?

Pregnancy testing appointments and information visits are available at no cost. After a positive clinical pregnancy test, you can request an ultrasound online, by text or by phone, and our team will check eligibility.

Questions or corrections

If something is unclear or appears out of date, contact our team and identify the article or page. Avoid sending personal medical details in a general website inquiry.
