Take Time to Slow Down
It’s normal to feel intense emotions if you have found out you are pregnant. Naming your feelings, whether you are anxious, excited, sad, or perhaps numb, can help you get clarity over how you are feeling.
Pregnancy decisions can feel high-pressure, and you may have the urge to make a quick decision just to find relief. However, giving yourself grace and time can help you understand your thoughts and what you might need.
Ask yourself what thoughts you are having about the pregnancy. Are finances a concern? Do you feel pressure? Are you worried about continuing education?
Breaking down why you are concerned about your pregnancy can help the situation feel more manageable, and you can start to seek information about these concerns and potential support services.
Find Support Without Pressure
Talking to someone you trust during this time can help you feel better. This could be from a friend, your partner, a family member, or a trained professional like our staff at Heart of the Hills.
During a confidential appointment at our center, we offer you the space to talk about your concerns and feelings free of pressure and judgment.
If you ever feel pressured by someone into making a pregnancy decision, it’s important to create space and boundaries to protect your own mental space. Your pregnancy decision is yours to make.
Seek Accurate Information
Learning factual information about abortion, parenting, and adoption can help you feel more confident and grounded. Each of these options has its own risks and considerations.
Parenting can feel challenging, especially if you have financial concerns; however, many women are surprised to learn how much support is available if they wish to parent, including parenting classes, material assistance, housing, and employment referrals.
Adoption can also feel scary, but modern adoption now allows you to have more flexibility about how much contact you have with your child and can give your child a stable and loving future, even if you feel unable to parent.
During our options counseling appointment, we will also inform you about abortion and the risks involved, as well as how the two types of abortion work and the necessary medical checks beforehand.
Confirm Your Pregnancy
Knowing key medical details before making a pregnancy decision is essential, as it can help determine whether additional medical follow-up is needed and influence your options.
At Heart of the Hill, we provide free lab-quality pregnancy testing and ultrasounds so you can understand the location of the pregnancy, the viability (if a heartbeat is detected), and how far along you are.
You’re Not Alone
Heart of the Hills is here for you, whether you simply need someone to talk to or want pregnancy support with our free pregnancy services.
We believe every woman deserves access to clear factual information surrounding their options and support, no matter their circumstances.
