How Do I Decide What to Do With My Unplanned Pregnancy?

If you are facing an unplanned pregnancy, you likely feel scared and confused. It can be overwhelming trying to understand what options are available and what choice is best.

Your decision will impact your future and your health, but there are steps you can take that can help you make the best choice. Read on to learn more about these steps. Or, if you’re looking for pregnancy support, contact A Friend for You to receive free pregnancy support and encouragement.

Get the Facts You Need

Gathering all the facts you can about your pregnancy is one of the first steps toward taking control of the decisions around your unplanned pregnancy.

Pregnancy Testing and/or Ultrasound

The first fact to gather is whether you’re, in fact, pregnant. Confirming your pregnancy with a medical-quality pregnancy test from a women’s health clinic is important. Many clinics offer these tests free of charge at their offices, ensuring the result is 99.9% accurate.  

Once you confirm your pregnancy, a follow-up ultrasound scan is recommended. This scan can provide valuable information about your pregnancy that will determine what options are available to you.
