Navigating an unexpected pregnancy can cause many doubts to surface. While you’re the one who ultimately has to make a decision, there is support during the process. The right support system can help you process your situation as you consider your next steps.

At Choices of the Heart, we offer no-cost and confidential support. Schedule an appointment today, and keep reading to learn how support systems can benefit you.

Who is In Your Corner?

Take time to think about the people you trust most. These may be family members, a partner, or close friends who can give a listening ear. Support might also come from someone you didn’t expect, like a neighbor or mentor who provides space to process your thoughts.

Having the right people in your corner can be instrumental as you consider your options.

Prioritize Your Needs

It’s critical to recognize when support turns into pressure. If someone tries to influence your decision with forceful opinions or even manipulation, know you have the right to set boundaries. 

Feeling rushed or coerced into any decision, including to have an abortion, is never acceptable. It’s your choice; your voice matters most. Telling your loved ones how to support you during this time can provide a space for them to offer the help you need, not pressure you don’t.

Understand Your Options Fully

Making an informed choice includes learning about your pregnancy and all available options. If you’re considering abortion, know that it’s a significant decision with side effects and risks. You deserve to learn about this option, consider your health history, and ask questions.

At Choices of the Heart, we offer no-cost and confidential services, including options information to get the facts on abortion, adoption, and parenting, and limited ultrasounds to confirm your pregnancy.

We know this situation can feel difficult, and we’ll provide the services you need in a non-judgmental setting. Schedule an appointment today to learn more.
