An unplanned pregnancy is stressful enough on its own. Add financial pressure to the mix, and you may feel like you have no choices at all.
But that’s not the case. Real options are available to you, and Pregnancy Resources Plus is here to help you get the information you need to make the best decision possible for your situation. We offer free, confidential counseling, accurate information, and compassionate support.
Get an Ultrasound Before You Decide Anything
No matter which direction you’re leaning, an ultrasound is an essential first step. It confirms how far along you are, whether the pregnancy is viable, and that the pregnancy is located inside the uterus.
Some pregnancies develop outside the uterus, a condition known as an ectopic pregnancy. Because ectopic pregnancies are serious medical emergencies that require immediate treatment, identifying one early can affect your health and the options available to you.
Parenting
If money is your biggest concern, financial support is available to help you. Programs like income support, WIC, and Medicaid are designed specifically for parents in need, and local food banks and housing assistance programs can help cover the basics.
If you have family or friends who can offer support alongside these resources, parenting may be a more realistic option than it feels at the moment. Raising a child can be a very rewarding experience. With the right support, many women in difficult circumstances have built stable, loving homes for their children.
If you choose to parent, Building Blocks Exchange offers ongoing support through more than 400 educational topics designed to help you build knowledge, skills, and confidence. As you complete lessons, you can earn “Block Bucks” to get baby items through our boutique.
Adoption
Adoption is a meaningful and generous choice that places your child with a family that is prepared and eager to raise a child.
It’s also more flexible than most people realize. Depending on what you and the adoptive family agree to, adoption can be open (ongoing contact and updates), semi-open (communication through an agency), or closed (no identifying information shared). Many adoptive families also help cover pregnancy-related costs.
A counselor can walk you through what kind of arrangement might feel right for you.
We might be able to talk with you initially before exploring an adoption agency. We don’t do adoptions, so there is no pressure for you- just information and a safe place to process.
Abortion
Abortion ends the pregnancy, but it’s important to be fully informed before making that choice. Abortion is a medical procedure that carries physical risks, including infection, uterine damage, and potential effects on future fertility.
You may feel overwhelmed, like you’re spiraling into a dark place, and believe abortion is your only option. Your mental and emotional well-being matters to us. We offer a safe, supportive space where you can talk through your thoughts, receive accurate information, and explore your options without judgment.
Give us a call. We’re here to listen and support you.
Pregnancy Resources Plus does not provide or refer for abortions.
