Feeling Overwhelmed by an Unplanned Pregnancy? You’re Not Alone—Here’s How to Get Support
An unplanned pregnancy can bring a lot of challenges, and facing them without support can make things feel even harder. But you don’t have to navigate this alone. Let’s explore the resources available to help you.
Start with Pregnancy Care Centers and Maternity Homes
Pregnancy care centers are a great place to find help. Visit OptionLine.org or text “Helpline” to 313131 to locate one near you. One of the largest networks, CareNet, offers free pregnancy testing, material support, and information. Many centers even provide STI testing and ultrasounds to confirm pregnancy.
These centers can also connect you with resources about adoption if parenting doesn’t feel like the right choice for you. Websites like Adoption.com allow you to explore profiles of families approved by licensed adoption agencies. You can filter by location, religion, age, and other preferences. For more guidance, visit AdoptHelp.com, where you’ll find information about creating an adoption plan tailored to your needs.
What About Planned Parenthood?
If you’re considering your options, it’s important to know that Planned Parenthood offers limited support for prenatal care or adoption. They do not provide ultrasounds unless you’re seeking an abortion, and their assistance with adoption is minimal. This has been confirmed through undercover phone calls.
There are people and resources ready to support you through this journey—don’t hesitate to reach out. You are not alone.
Get Pro-Life Stories and Resources Delivered to Your Inbox
Accessing medical care without insurance can be challenging, whether you’re pregnant or not. That’s why pro-life organizations have created resources like GetYourCare.org. This site includes a map to help you find nearby federally qualified health centers.
Pro-lifers also run clinics specifically for new moms, such as Tennessee’s Morning Center and Colorado’s Bella Natural Women’s Care. These clinics offer compassionate care tailored to women and their unique needs—you can learn more about their services here.
Another critical service provided by the pro-life community is abortion pill reversal. If you’ve started a medical abortion but have taken only the first pill (mifepristone) and changed your mind, it may not be too late to reverse the process. Chemical abortion is a multi-step procedure, as explained by former abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino in the video below.
Support for Moms in Crisis: Legal and Medical Help at Your Fingertips
If you’ve taken the first pill in a medical abortion and changed your mind, help is available. Nurses are on call 24/7 at (877) 558-0333 to connect you with a doctor who specializes in abortion pill reversal. You can also visit AbortionPillReversal.com for more information.
Legal Assistance for Pressured Moms
No one should be forced into an abortion. If you’re experiencing threats of violence, contact the police immediately. For other forms of coercion, the Justice Foundation and its Center Against Forced Abortions (CAFA) provide free legal resources. CAFA helps mothers who are being pressured into unwanted abortions by offering downloadable legal letters addressed to partners, parents, and abortion providers. These letters outline the potential legal consequences of forcing someone to abort.
For more information or to speak with an attorney, call 210-614-7157 or email [email protected]. Additional legal support can be found through organizations such as:
- Alliance Defending Freedom
- Thomas More Law Center
- ACLJ
