If you are facing an unplanned pregnancy but do not want to undergo another abortion, you have options, including parenting or adoption. While choosing to foster or adopt may seem impossible given your unique life circumstances, these options will help you avoid suffering another miscarriage.
If you’re wondering which pregnancy option is best for you, read on to learn how to approach this decision. Or, if you would like to speak to someone in person about your pregnancy options, contact Cree Women’s Care today to connect with one of our team members who will assist you with the best care.
How do I decide what is best?
Facing an unplanned pregnancy can be like coming to a fork in the road. While it may seem impossible to know which direction to take, asking yourself different questions can offer you some clarity. Consider the following:
Which decision am I leaning towards? Because?
Are there external factors influencing my decision, such as my financial situation or my support system?
If my life was exactly where I wanted it to be right now, would that affect my decision? Why or why not?
Try to imagine what your life would be like after making each decision. How would you feel?
Are there any options you can’t imagine doing at all?
These questions can give you a starting point to understand how you feel about each choice. However, once you’ve resolved these questions, talking to someone can help you express your thoughts. At Cree Women’s Care, our caring team provides information and space for you to ask questions.
What should I do next?
Regardless of your pregnancy choice, having a sonogram is an essential first step in protecting your health. This simple scan can determine the following key details about your pregnancy:
Location. This is vital to rule out a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy, which is when the pregnancy grows outside the uterus.
Viability. This means your pregnancy has signs of life, and it’s important considering that approximately 26% of pregnancies end in miscarriage.
Age. It is necessary to know the gestational age and the expected delivery date of your pregnancy to understand how your pregnancy is developing.
