Those two lines on your pregnancy test might have surprised your friends just as much as they surprised you. If you’re still in school or haven’t planned on pregnancy anytime soon, it’s understandable that your friends might jump to the idea of abortion. But that doesn’t mean that has to be your choice. Sometimes just opening up about what you’re thinking—and what you might want—can help your friends realize that what you really need right now is their understanding and support. This season can be hard, but you don’t have to walk through it alone.
If you’ve shared that you want to carry your pregnancy and your friends still aren’t supportive, don’t lose heart. There are still ways to move forward with confidence and care. We’re here to listen, walk with you, and help you navigate these tough conversations. You don’t have to figure it all out on your own.
For now, take a moment, breathe deeply, and allow yourself time to consider your options calmly and thoroughly. Contact us today to schedule a complimentary, confidential appointment to explore your options and discover the resources available to you.
Share Your Vision
If friends are pressuring you to get an abortion you don’t want, they may not understand the vision you have for your life. Sharing your goals and dreams can be a way to invite them in and let them know that while a pregnancy at this time was unplanned, it doesn’t work against your overall vision and plan for your life.
If they are still pressuring you to get an abortion after this conversation, boundaries may be necessary. You’re entering a new season and need the support of your friends, not their doubts. Drawing clear lines can be difficult, but it may be necessary for moving forward with peace and confidence in your decision. When you set healthy boundaries, you’re actually building more trust and respect in your friendships. It creates space for both of you to feel balanced, supported, and understood.
Understanding All Your Options
If you’re pretty sure you don’t want an abortion but haven’t decided between parenting and adoption, we can help. Before making a decision, it’s helpful to understand what each option entails, allowing you to move forward with confidence. We are here to listen and provide information you might need so that you feel confident and empowered to make the best decision for you and your future.
At Peak Women’s Care, we offer:
- No-cost medical-grade pregnancy tests to verify your at-home test.
- If the pregnancy test here is positive, we provide ultrasounds to confirm how far along you are and rule out conditions like ectopic pregnancy.
- Confidential options consultations.
These services give you accurate information about your pregnancy and your choices so you can make an informed decision that is not based on outside pressure.
Your First Steps
Confirming your pregnancy is a critical first step. Lab-quality testing and an ultrasound provide key details about your pregnancy that can influence the options available to you. Talking with a trained professional outside your circle of friends can also help you separate your own thoughts from others’ opinions.
Your Second Step: Finding A Supportive Place to Talk
At Peak Women’s Care, you’ll find a private, nonjudgmental space to ask questions and get the information you need. All our services are free and confidential.
Take a moment to consider all the possibilities for your future, and know that support is here to help you move forward with confidence. Schedule your no-cost appointment at Peak Women’s Care today and get the clarity and support you deserve.
