If you’re experiencing an unexpected pregnancy, you might feel overwhelmed, anxious, or even ashamed. These emotions can push some women to consider abortion quickly, sometimes as a way to avoid the judgment or pressure they fear from others. 

However, it’s important to remember that abortion is not a simple fix; it’s a significant decision with potential physical and emotional consequences.

At Choices of the Heart, we believe every woman deserves the time, space, and support to explore her options. No one should feel rushed, coerced, or isolated when facing such a life-changing decision.

Continue reading to learn what you should consider during the decision-making process, and contact us if you would like to schedule a no-cost appointment to talk and receive early pregnancy services.

You Deserve to Make an Informed Decision

When you feel ashamed or afraid, the instinct may be to hide your pregnancy entirely. However, deciding out of fear or secrecy can have lasting effects. Attempting to go through this journey alone can prevent you from receiving the emotional and practical support you need and deserve.

Every woman’s situation is unique. You deserve to make an educated decision, not one made under pressure from others.

What You Should Know About Abortion

Abortion involves more than taking several drugs or having a procedure. For example, medical abortion causes abdominal cramping and vaginal bleeding, which can be severe. Women can also experience numerous risks associated with abortion, such as heavy bleeding and infection after taking medical abortion drugs, or a perforated uterus following a surgical abortion procedure.

Feeling rushed into a decision because you want to hide your pregnancy could also mean not taking the time to carefully weigh all your options and determine which is best for your circumstances. Making a decision you feel confident about is crucial.

Talking through your options in a supportive, pressure-free environment can make all the difference. Choices of the Heart is here to listen, provide accurate information, and answer questions without judgment.
