An unplanned pregnancy may have caught you completely off guard. Parenting may be an option you’re considering, though at times, it seems like an overwhelming choice. Before making up your mind, learn the facts about the parenting option and the available parenting support.
Many questions and concerns come up as you face an unplanned pregnancy. We’re here to help you navigate each one and help you make a confident choice for your future. You are not alone.
You may be interested in parenting but don’t know where to begin. It’s important to navigate your difficult parenting questions and concerns. Here are some questions to help you take inventory:
- Do you have a support system in place?
- Who will financially support you?
- Will you continue school/college? Can you put your education on hold if needed?
- How does your partner feel about the pregnancy and parenting?
- Do you have childcare options through your parents or your work?
At Alabama Pregnancy and Family Center, we’re here to help you learn more about parenting and community resources that may be available to you. Try to take it one day at a time as you seek clarity.
This season, establishing a strong support system by reaching out to those around you is very important. You don’t have to figure all this out on your own.
Many women think parenting isn’t possible because they lack support, and that’s why we exist! We offer our educational classes and other types of support so you never feel like you don’t have choices.
We offer free and confidential education on all your pregnancy options so you can feel equipped to make a decision that’s right for you. If you haven’t yet confirmed your pregnancy or had an ultrasound, we can help with that, too.
Contact us if you have questions about your parenting option or would like more information. We’re here for you, and if we don’t provide the resources you need, we can refer you to other community organizations.
