For many women, the first thought after a positive pregnancy test isn’t, “I want an abortion.” It’s, “I can’t do this.”
Sometimes the pregnancy isn’t what feels impossible. It’s paying the bills, finishing school, telling your parents, or wondering whether you’ll have to raise a child on your own. It may even feel hopeless.
At Calaveras Pregnancy Center, we are here to help you find hope with our free, confidential options consultations, where you can talk through your situation and learn about abortion alternatives.
Identify Your Motivations
Ask yourself one question: Why does abortion feel like my only option?
The answer may have less to do with the pregnancy than with the circumstances surrounding it. Once you identify what’s driving your decision, you can begin looking at practical solutions. Financial assistance, housing resources, parenting support, adoption services, or simply having someone to talk with can help you clarify which option is right for you.
Get the Full Picture
Make sure you have gathered as much information about your pregnancy as you reasonably can.
For instance, a home pregnancy test can’t tell you everything, but a limited ultrasound can provide medical information that may affect what happens next, including whether the pregnancy is located inside the uterus. If located outside the uterus, this is an ectopic pregnancy and requires immediate medical attention, besides an elective abortion.
We offer free, on-site ultrasound referrals at our clinic.
Schedule an Appointment
You don’t have to solve every problem today or even your final pregnancy decision. You just have to take the next step.
Sometimes that means gathering more information and talking with someone who will answer questions with medically accurate information and listen without rushing you toward a decision.
We’re here to answer questions and help you understand all of your options. Contact us today.
