If you’re pregnant or think you might be, protecting your health matters more than ever. One question many women have is whether STD testing will be uncomfortable or painful. You’re not alone—this is something we hear often.
The good news is: most STD testing is quick and doesn’t hurt.
STD testing during pregnancy is usually straightforward, and the type of test depends on what’s being checked.
Our licensed medical staff is here to make the process private, professional, and as comfortable as possible.
Even if you don’t notice any symptoms, some STDs can affect your health during pregnancy. Certain infections can also impact the pregnancy itself if left untreated. That’s why STD testing during pregnancy is recommended—especially if you’re considering abortion or exploring your options. Knowing your status helps your provider give you the safest care.

It’s best to get tested as soon as you know you’re pregnant. If you’re considering abortion, testing before any procedure also helps protect your health.
