For students, facing an unplanned pregnancy at any time can cause a variety of emotions — fear, confusion, excitement, and more. Being pregnant as a student can amplify those emotions as you face questions like these:
- Am I ready to be a parent?
- Will I be able to finish school?
- What will this mean for my future?
We want you to know we understand how overwhelming this season can be and that we’re here to offer free resources and support. Our pregnancy services are always confidential and offered at no cost to you. No one should have to face an unplanned pregnancy alone.
Getting pregnant as a student wasn’t part of your plan, and while it will impact your future, it may be different from what you’re thinking now. Even couples trying to get pregnant often feel overwhelmed and underprepared, so know you are in great company if you feel those things.
You may also feel pressure to make a decision right away. Perhaps friends are quick to share their opinions and thoughts about what they’d do in your shoes. Remember that you have time to make your decision and owe it to yourself to learn all the facts before making your choice.
A pregnancy decision will impact the rest of your life regardless of what you choose, so it’s important to reflect on what your life will look like not only now but five, ten, and fifteen years from now.
Even after receiving a positive pregnancy test result at home, follow it up with a lab-quality pregnancy test and ultrasound to confirm where your pregnancy stands.
An ultrasound will confirm how far along your pregnancy is, its location (whether within the uterus), and its viability (if there’s a heartbeat and the pregnancy is progressing).
These pregnancy details will confirm what’s next for you and what pregnancy options are available to you. Contact us today to schedule a free and confidential appointment to get the answers you need to make a fully informed decision.
