Think You're Pregnant?
Don't panic. Life is not over.
An unplanned pregnancy is a hard thing to
face. There are so many decisions to make and questions to answer.
Those around you might want things "back to normal," like it never
happened. And you might think it would be great to just be "not
pregnant" again. But the truth is that nothing will ever change
the fact that you were pregnant.
Don't cheat yourself.
Take charge of what happens this time and decide what is best for
you---best for you now and for the rest of your life. You have choices
to make and each choice has its own consequences. Friends and family
will have opinions and offer advice, but only
you can choose what is right. Only you have to live with
your decision. Rushing into important decisions is usually not a
smart idea.
Support is available.
You are not alone. We care about you
and your future. We can provide support for you every step
of the way, without judging you or telling you what to do. We are
a non-profit organization funded by the Pennsylvania Department
of Welfare. We're committed to assisting women in unplanned pregnancies
by providing compassionate and practical support and alternative-to-abortion services. Whether our counselors have personally been
through this experience or have helped others through it, they are
ready to support you.
Whatever you need---there
is help. Maybe you want someone with you to tell your parents
or boyfriend. Maybe someone can help you stay in school or get a
job, or help you find baby food or furniture. Or, maybe you just
need someone to talk to and listen to you. Whatever you need, we'll
be there.
