Finding out that your friends and family don’t want you to continue with your pregnancy can feel isolating. You might not feel like you have anyone to turn to about how you feel, or perhaps you don’t know what to do next.
Creating some space and boundaries while you figure out what you want is okay. You do not have to make a decision today.
Life Choices Community Pregnancy Clinic provides confidential support to women who are facing an unexpected pregnancy and want to learn more about their options. We also provide free pregnancy testing and limited ultrasounds so you can get the important details you need to move forward.

Understand How You Feel
When others are pressuring you, it can be difficult to hear your own voice. Creating space to reflect on your feelings and priorities can help you make a decision that aligns with what you truly want.
You can journal how you feel about your pregnancy and find non-judgmental support from someone you trust. Our clinic’s doors are open if you need someone to talk to.
If pressure from a partner, family member, or someone else is making you feel unsafe, reach out for help. Abuse is not always physical and can include emotional manipulation or control. The National Domestic Violence Hotline can provide support.
Get The Facts Around Your Pregnancy
Getting an ultrasound before making a pregnancy decision can provide important health information.
An ultrasound after a positive pregnancy test will tell you the location of the pregnancy, how far along you are, and the viability (if a heartbeat is detected). In some cases, a pregnancy develops outside the uterus. This is known as an ectopic pregnancy and requires urgent medical attention.
Understanding these details can help you make a more informed decision about your next steps.
Learn More About Your Options
Your options include: parenting, adoption, and abortion. Understanding the considerations, support, and risks that come with each option can help you make a fully informed decision.
Parenting can feel overwhelming if you are still in school or if your partner does not support the pregnancy. However, many women find that practical support and resources make parenting more achievable than they first thought.
Adoption can be a way forward if you don’t want to parent but also don’t want an abortion. Modern adoption plans allow you to have ongoing contact with your child if you wish to do so, or you can remain anonymous depending on the plan you choose.
During an appointment, we can also provide information about abortion, how it works, and the risks involved.
