An unexpected pregnancy can leave you feeling like your future has been decided for you. However, if this pregnancy is interrupting plans or adding pressure to your life, you still have hope for a bright future, and you still have options, and they don’t have to be abortion.
At Mercy Women’s Center, we provide a supportive environment where you feel heard and receive answers you can trust. Take advantage of our free options consultations, where you can ask questions about all your pregnancy options.
Looking at the Options
Every pregnancy ends one of three ways: parenting, adoption, or abortion.
Choosing to parent doesn’t mean doing everything by yourself. Many women discover they have more support than they expected once they begin asking for help. Whether through their personal network or many local resources, there are many methods of support available.
Adoption allows you to make a plan for your child’s future while choosing how much involvement you’d like to have after placement.
If you’re considering abortion, make sure you understand what the procedure involves, the possible risks, and what recovery may look like before making your decision.
Learn More About Your Pregnancy
Before making a decision, an ultrasound can answer questions a pregnancy test can’t, such as:
- How far along is the pregnancy
- Whether the pregnancy is developing in the uterus
- If the pregnancy is continuing to grow or if you have miscarried
We offer free ultrasound referrals that can provide details that affect your options. For example, if the pregnancy is not growing in the uterus, it is ectopic. This is a serious medical condition that requires immediate medical attention.
No matter the reason, if you feel overwhelmed with the news of this pregnancy, you are not without answers or options. Contact us today!
