Pregnancy Options
If a baby is not in your plans right now, abortion might seem like the best way out. Many women and couples find it empowering to understand all their options before making a final decision.
If you have a viable pregnancy you have three choices to consider. Are you going to go with abortion or adoption? Or will you choose to become a parent?
We know that each individual set of circumstances is unique. Our desire is for you to leave our office feeling empowered to make the best choice regarding your pregnancy. We never financially benefit from your decision and can discuss your options with absolutely no pressure.
If you are thinking about abortion please contact us before you make a final choice. We are here to help you sort through all of your questions and concerns.
There is a lot to educate yourself on before you make a decision, and we are here to help you every step of the way.
For The Guys
An unplanned pregnancy can leave you feeling surprised, scared and trapped. She needs to hear from you. Give us a call to understand your options and how you can help her make the best choice.
Once she’s missed a period, everything can change – fast.
What happens next may be her decision, but most women really need to know what you’re thinking. They need your support.
Here are a few steps to making the best choice for both of you – together.
What to do ...
-
Talk with her and listen to her. Keep the lines of communication open between the two of you at all times. DO NOT close yourself off emotionally because this situation involves more than just you!
-
Be there for her. She needs you now more than ever before.
-
Talk with the people who care. In addition to keeping the lines of communication open between the two of you, it’s important to discuss the situation with parents and others who’ll be directly affected. Keeping this a secret will only add to the stress—yours and hers.
-
Educate yourself. Collect information and seek advice from people you trust.
-
Be honest with her and yourself. Own and share at all times how you feel. You’ll be surprised at how much it will help her to know that you share the same concerns. You’ll be surprised at what you learn about yourself. And you’ll be proud that you’re standing tall together!
What not to do ...
-
Don’t run from your responsibilities. The more you try to avoid this situation; the harder things will get.
-
Don’t pressure her to do what you want. You both need to work together at all times. You’re a team now!
-
Don’t stop communicating with her. Express your feelings and add your input whenever it’s needed.
