While the holidays are typically filled with celebration, discovering an unexpected pregnancy can make this season feel uncertain and emotionally heavy.
You deserve to find the answers and support you need to feel seen and empowered in making a decision.
At Pathway to Hope, you can learn more about your options and also find a safe space to talk and ask questions about your options, as well as available resources.
Feel Your Feelings
Even if your emotional state feels at odds with the spirit of the season, you don’t have to pretend. If you are confused or overwhelmed, it’s okay to admit to yourself and trusted loved ones that you aren’t feeling jolly.
Admitting how you feel is a healthy choice and allows you to address it honestly.
Try to do small things that make you happy, like ordering your favorite festive drink or a fun holiday craft with a friend. Doing small things can remind you that there is light at the end of the tunnel, even if it doesn’t always feel like it.
Gather More Details About Your Pregnancy
Anxiety often comes from facing the unknown. If you gather more information about your pregnancy, you are likely to feel more informed and confident because you no longer feel in the dark.
At Pathway to Hope, we offer free pregnancy services, including pregnancy confirmation through a limited ultrasound. An ultrasound can give you important details such as:
- Gestational age (how far along you are)
- Location (intrauterine)
- Viability (detect a heartbeat)
After receiving a positive pregnancy test, one of our medical professionals will determine whether a limited ultrasound can be performed.
Our appointments are free and confidential. Contact us today to schedule. You deserve to feel hopeful again and supported. We are here for you!
