First, know that you are not alone during this unexpected time. Figuring out what's next can feel overwhelming and isolating, but you don’t have to walk this road by yourself. We at Positive Options are here to come alongside you and help you get the answers you need.
If you’re pregnant and in high school, there are a couple of steps to take before moving forward with your pregnancy decision, including getting more pregnancy details and options information. Keep reading to learn more.
Understand All of Your Pregnancy Details
Your pregnancy details will determine what’s next for you. A positive pregnancy test is not enough information to determine where your pregnancy stands and what options are available to you.
While a positive pregnancy test can indicate pregnancy, you will need to know if your pregnancy is viable (has a heartbeat and is progressing) through an ultrasound. It’s vital to know this before making a pregnancy decision.
If you’re considering abortion, an ultrasound is needed to obtain proof of pregnancy and learn how far along you are to determine which type of procedure you can have.
The Decision is Up to You
Do you feel pressured into abortion or another pregnancy decision? Being so young and in school, it can be easy for others to pressure you into a pregnancy decision. No matter what, the final pregnancy decision is yours to make.
Consider getting information about all three of your pregnancy options: abortion, adoption, and parenting. Be educated in a safe and non-judgemental space so you can make a clear and confident decision for your future. We at Positive Options can help.
