A pregnancy can bring up a lot, especially when you’ve been through an abortion before and know you don’t want to go down that road again. Whatever you’re carrying emotionally right now, it makes sense, and it’s okay to let that shape the decisions you make going forward.
At Pregnancy Options, you are not expected to have everything figured out. You can come as you are, ask questions, and take time to explore what your options could look like. Schedule a no-cost appointment to talk with someone who is there to listen and support you.
Parenting and Adoption Are Both Possibilities
When abortion is off the table, two paths remain: parenting and adoption. Both are worth considering, especially when you have access to honest information and people who want to see you succeed.
You don’t have to decide anything right away. Taking time to learn about each option is a reasonable and healthy first step.
What Parenting Support Can Look Like
Thinking about parenting, but not sure how it would work? That’s exactly what Pregnancy Options is here for. No-cost prenatal and parenting classes are available throughout your child’s early years, covering practical topics such as safe sleep, shaken baby syndrome, and proper car seat installation.
You can also connect with certified Life Coaches who focus on building you up, not just walking you through information. This is about supporting you as a whole person, not just handing you a pamphlet.
Material support and referrals to additional community resources may also be available to help meet practical day-to-day needs.
Thinking About Adoption
Adoption is an option for women who want to continue their pregnancy but aren’t in a position to parent right now. Today’s adoption plans can be flexible, with some women choosing ongoing contact with the child and others preferring more privacy. There is no one-size-fits-all approach.
Pregnancy Options doesn’t place children directly, but the team can connect you with trusted adoption resources so you can learn what the process involves and decide if it’s a direction you want to explore.
When a New Pregnancy Brings Up the Past
Sometimes a new pregnancy stirs up emotions connected to a previous abortion. That’s more common than you might think, and you don’t have to carry it on your own.
Pregnancy Options offers lay and peer counseling, with access to a licensed counselor when needed. Whether you’re processing something from the past or working through what’s in front of you right now, there’s a space to talk openly and honestly.
Getting the Health Information You Need First
Before making any decision, confirming the details of your pregnancy is an important first step. Pregnancy Options offers no-cost pregnancy testing, along with limited ultrasounds following a positive pregnancy test, to gather key information about your pregnancy.
STD and STI testing are also available at no cost if needed.
You Don’t Have to Do This Alone
Whatever brought you here, support is available. Call Pregnancy Options at 507-332-7644 or schedule your no-cost appointment online to take your next step with a caring team that is genuinely in your corner.
