If your first thought is that you do not want to continue this pregnancy, you are not alone. Many women experience this initial reaction after finding out they are unexpectedly pregnant.
You do not have to have everything figured out today. Before making any decisions, it can help to slow down, take a breath, and understand all of your available options.
Her Hope Pregnancy Center is here to support you during this time. We provide free pregnancy testing, limited ultrasounds, and accurate information about all of your pregnancy options so you can make an informed and confident decision.

You Have Other Options
It is important to know that there are other paths available. Taking time to learn about each option can help you feel more grounded and less pressured as you move forward.
Your three main options include parenting, adoption, and abortion. Each comes with its own considerations. The abortion pill is FDA-approved through ten weeks of gestation and carries side effects and risks that are important to understand.
An ultrasound is important before making any pregnancy decision, as it gives you key medical information that can impact your options and protect your health.
What Parenting Involves
Parenting can feel impossible if you are facing challenges such as finances, education, relationships, or simply not feeling ready. These concerns are valid; however, support is available.
At Her Hope Pregnancy Center, we can offer parenting classes via BrightCourse, help in securing prenatal care, community resources, and material support through our Baby Boutique.
Learning what resources are available can help you better understand what parenting could look like for you.
Considering Adoption
Adoption is another option for women who do not feel ready to parent but want to continue their pregnancy. Modern adoption is flexible and allows you to choose the level of contact you would like with your child and the adoptive family.
There are open adoption plans where you maintain a relationship with calls and visits, semi-open allows for contact mediated through a third party, and closed adoption is where you remain anonymous.
Choosing adoption can be an emotional decision, and there are many reasons someone may consider this path. We can help you explore whether it may be right for you.
It is crucial to note that all adoption-related services are free, and your medical expenses are fully covered.
