Why should I confirm my pregnancy?

A significant number of early pregnancies end on their own in miscarriage, and a smaller number grow in the wrong place - outside of the uterus - which can be life-threatening. An ultrasound exam can confirm that your pregnancy is in the uterus, developing and is living. This information is helpful as you make this decision: abortion or continuing with your pregnancy. 

​

What can I do about people pressuring me?​

Remember, no person will be required to live with the consequences of this decision as much as you will. If your boyfriend or parents are pressuring you to make a quick decision, explain your needs and try to involve them in counseling to explore your positive options. You have the right to continue this pregnancy if that is your choice.

​

What if my partner won‘t support me?

Women who choose abortion often say they didn’t feel like they had enough support to have their baby. If that’s you, talk with your partner about your decision. Share your true thoughts and feelings and consider asking your partner to get counseling with you.

​

Sometimes support can come from unexpected places. If you know you can’t rely on your partner, where else can you turn? Family and friends, as well as your faith community or a local pregnancy center, may have resources that will be helpful to you. Take the time to explore all of your options.

​

Do I have to choose between my baby and my future?

Some people may tell you that you can’t achieve your dreams if you have a baby now. But why not? Sometimes the best changes in life are unplanned. What if you’re strong enough to realize that your dreams are flexible? What if you adapt to unexpected circumstances? We all need help sometimes and you may have more support than you think. Many women have found the resources and courage they need to make positive decisions and live without regrets.  We can help you find the resources you need.​​
