Get the Facts About Your Pregnancy
Before you make any pregnancy decision, understanding how your pregnancy is developing is important.
A pregnancy test only confirms the presence of the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), but a limited ultrasound can tell you how far along you are, the location of the pregnancy, and whether the pregnancy appears to be developing.
These details not only influence your available options but also protect your health. For example, the abortion pill is only approved through ten weeks of gestation. Knowing where the pregnancy is located can also help identify whether you may have an ectopic pregnancy, which is a medical emergency.
Learn About All Your Pregnancy Options
Taking time to understand all of your pregnancy options can help you feel more confident and informed. The options you have are parenting, adoption, and abortion. Each of these options has considerations and emotional and physical impacts.
At Heart of the Hills, we can inform both you and your partner about your options and the resources and support available to you. Learning together about your options can allow you to express your concerns and ask questions.
Be Honest About How You Feel
You may feel nervous to have this conversation with your partner, and that’s expected. Being honest about how you feel can help you create a conversation based on understanding. Express your thoughts, fears, and concerns, and take time to listen to each other.
Your partner may need some time to process this news and understand how they feel.
Remember, This Is Your Decision
While your partner’s feelings are important, this is ultimately your pregnancy and your decision. If you ever feel pressured by your partner to make a decision you’re unsure about, you may need to create some space and seek healthy support.
Your safety always comes first. Reach out to The National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) if you ever feel unsafe. Heart of the Hills is here for you if you need someone to speak to confidentially.
You Are Not Alone
Heart of the Hills is here to support you, whether you come by yourself or bring your partner. We can answer your questions and provide free pregnancy services to help protect your health.
