Facing an unexpected pregnancy can stir up many emotions—fear, confusion, anxiety, and even loneliness. While it’s ultimately your decision, knowing you’re not alone can be comforting. A strong support system can allow you to process things and move forward with clarity.

At Clara Women’s Center, we provide resources and a listening ear, no matter where you are in your decision-making journey. Keep reading to learn why a support system matters at this time.

Who Is in Your Corner?

Start by thinking about the people you can trust and who will walk alongside you. Sometimes, these are close family members, your partner, or a longtime friend. Other times, someone unexpected, like a mentor or neighbor, brings calm and clarity into your life.

Pressure Is Not Support

It’s normal to want advice, but it’s just as important to recognize the difference between support and pressure. If someone insists you choose a specific path, it can make things more complicated, not easier. This is your life, and you have the right to speak up for what you need.

Having boundaries helps ensure your voice remains heard. It’s okay to say no to advice that feels more like control.

Understanding All Your Options

You deserve to make a pregnancy decision with confidence, and that begins with knowing critical information about your pregnancy and what options are available.

At Clara Women’s Center, we offer no-cost and confidential pre-abortion screening that includes pregnancy testing, a limited ultrasound, and STI testing to safeguard your health. You can also discuss your options with us to help you make the right decision without judgment or pressure.
