Imagine you just found out you are pregnant, and you were not anticipating having a baby?! Life can appear to be scary sometimes, and your emotions are hard to navigate when you are scared. If you are scared or even feeling alone, please call us or send a message on the website. We have folks who are able to answer regularly. They will walk you through next steps and your options. We are also available to answer questions, no matter what kind. You may feel like you need to make a quick decision, but do not feel pressured to do that. A decision about pregnancy is one that you will carry with you for the rest of your life. It is very important, and you do not want to find yourself regretting a choice (especially one you did not want to make). YOU ARE BRAVE!
It is important to remember this is your life, your body, your pregnancy, and YOU can stand strong! Sometimes fear can take over, and rash decisions happen. Stay calm, and take deep breaths. We are here for you! Being pregnant (no matter what age) does not mean life is over. God already knew you were going to become pregnant, and He is waiting for you to call upon Him for help. The best news is that you do not have to have your while life already planned out. Take one day at a time. YOU ARE BRAVE!
Once you have given this some thought, and you feel like this is not a good time for you to become a mom – you have options! We are here to explain all of your options to you, and we are happy to do so at any time! Make sure to not let your friends, family, spouse or partner have an negative influence on your decision. YOU ARE BRAVE!
Remember to take good care of yourself. This can be a challenging time, and taking care of your body and your baby is important. Drink water, take time to breath, go for a walk, read – all of these things help keep calm energy. While you are taking time to make the best decisions for your pregnancy, prioritize yourself. YOU ARE BRAVE!
