You never thought you’d be here, facing an unexpected pregnancy. Whether you had two lines staring back at you or you saw a plus sign, you may have held your breath while simultaneously feeling your world spin around you.
Not only are you trying to figure out your own thoughts, but when you look for support from your family and friends, you feel your chest constrict and the walls closing in as their opinions fly out of their mouths.
“You’re in no place to be a mother.”
“You need to finish school.”
“You can’t afford a baby.”
Perhaps their opinions echo your internal fears… What am I going to do?
You Are Not Alone
For over 20 years, the Florida Pregnancy Support Services Program has provided women, just like you, with a network of pregnancy centers that provide free and confidential support. With centers located all throughout the state of Florida, you can find the resources you need to make an informed decision.
If your family and friends are not supportive of your pregnancy or are pressuring you into a decision you’re not comfortable with, it can be hard to understand your own thoughts and feelings. The Florida Pregnancy Support Services Program will connect you to a center near you where you will find compassionate care without judgment. You will be given the time and space you need to make the best decision for you. Additionally, by the time you leave, you will know why you’re making your decision and will have the resources tailored to your specific needs.
Your Next Steps
Even if you’ve already taken an at-home pregnancy test, you will want to confirm your pregnancy with a lab-quality pregnancy test coupled with an ultrasound. This will help you determine that your pregnancy is viable, the gestational age of your pregnancy, and if there is more than one fetus (meaning twins!).
