Today I visited WRMC for first time to get free pregnancy test done and it was really pleasant experience. I had an appointment scheduled for 10am and walked out at 12pm. Place is nice and clean and people who are working there were kind and helpful. To be honest, I didn't expect too much as they are helping at no cost. Comparing to my visits at my ob/gyn office, I felt more welcomed and relaxed here.
The lady at front desk, asked for our ID's (my husband's and mine) and gave us both some papers to fill up with our information. Also, she asked my husband if is interested in parenthood classes but he politely refused as we already have 2 kids so he have enough experience with this matter :)
Anyway, we were waiting for about 40 minutes and my husband wondered why the ladies who checked in after us are being called while we are still waiting. My guess was that they were there for ultrasound. It didn't bother me at all but I needed to use restroom and ask one of employees what to do as they need urine collected for my pregnancy test and I couldn't hold it anymore lol
Two ladies came, let me in, provided me with plastic sample container and showed me the restrooms. Also, before they let me to use it, one of them went inside to check if everything is clean. This was a sign to me that they care about hygiene and women's health.
After the restroom, these two ladies ask me to come with them in one of the rooms to have a talk with me while waiting for test result. We talked for some minutes (about life, my decisions related to pregnancy, about God). I read some reviews where people complaint about religion talk. I actually enjoyed talking with these ladies and didn't feel any pressure or judgement.
Anyway, they gave me some papers to fill up and they left me to finish the papers. Questions on those papers were personal but I didn't mind and some about my concerns and decisions. Anyway, the ladies came back with the news that my pregnancy test is positive and gave me 2 more papers to fill up while they went to get positive test paper for me. They came back again and brought brochures and papers with some names and addresses of places and medical centers where I could get more assistance and prenatal care. They also gave me a knitted baby shoes- adorable gift ❤️ Then they showed me a window where one nice lady asked me for my name, congratulate me and scheduled ultrasound for me- tomorrow at 11am. That was great to get ultrasound appointment so soon! (She said someone cancelled their appointment so I guess I am lucky one :) ). This lady gave me small paper with instructions for tomorrow and I was done for today :)
I have to add, around 11am, waiting room was full of people and it looks like that this place is busy one. But no wonder, I mean they provide women with free pregnancy test, free ultrasound, useful information about prenatal care, they put their time and effort to help women who don't have health insurance.
I apologize for long review, just wanted to share experience I had with WRMC so maybe it would help other women to decide if they want to visit this place.
WRMC, thank you very much for one wonderful experience and your help!
