If you’re considering abortion after finding out you are pregnant, you may already be hearing opinions from your partner, family members, friends, or other people in your life. Even when they mean well, knowing what you want can become difficult when everyone else has something to say.
You deserve the space to sort through your own thoughts. You should be able to ask questions, talk honestly about your concerns, and take time to understand your situation without feeling pushed toward someone else’s decision.
At Hope Women’s Center, you can have that conversation in a pressure-free, confidential setting. Our team is here to listen to what you’re going through and can provide no-cost pregnancy testing and limited ultrasounds following a positive result so you can see how your pregnancy is developing before making a decision.
You don’t have to walk in knowing what you want to do. You can simply come in, talk, and take things one step at a time. Schedule your appointment today. We are here for you.
Understand What Healthy Support Looks Like
Someone who supports you can listen to your concerns, respect your feelings, and give you space to think through your situation. They may also help you work through practical concerns such as finances, relationships, school, work, or your plans for the future.
The people around you will have their own experiences, beliefs, and concerns, and hearing their perspective can be helpful. But healthy support should still leave room for you to form your own thoughts and decide what you believe is right for your circumstances.
Make Room For Your Own Voice
When you are hearing advice from your partner, family, friends, or other people in your life, it can become difficult to separate their opinions from your own.
Take some time to consider what you are feeling about your pregnancy and what questions you still need answered.
You might ask yourself:
- What do I want for my future?
- What concerns are influencing how I feel?
- What information do I still need?
- Am I making this decision because I want to, or because I feel pressured?
Giving yourself space to reflect on what you need can help you identify the kind of support that would be most helpful.
Find Accurate Information
Before making a decision, it can help to understand how your pregnancy is developing. A limited ultrasound can provide additional information about your pregnancy, including how far along you are (gestational age), where the pregnancy is developing, and signs the pregnancy is viable.
Getting accurate information about all of your pregnancy options, including parenting, adoption, and abortion can help you understand what each path may involve and make a decision that feels right for your circumstances.
If you decide to continue your pregnancy, you don’t have to navigate the next steps without help. Educational resources and practical support are available to help you prepare for pregnancy, parenting, and the needs that come with them.
