Financial Stress Doesn’t Have to Make the Decision for You

When you’re worried about paying bills or making ends meet, it’s easy to feel like your choices are limited. However, many women discover that programs and community resources are available to help lighten the financial burden.

Before making a decision based solely on your current circumstances, take time to learn what support may be available. Having more information can help you see possibilities you may not have considered.

There Are Resources Available if You Want to Parent

If you’re considering parenting, you don’t have to figure everything out on your own.

At Vera Women’s Center, we offer prenatal and parenting classes covering topics like newborn care, feeding, budgeting, and more. As you participate, you’ll earn credits that can be used in our boutique for diapers, formula, baby clothing, and other essentials.

Our client advocates can also connect you with community resources for healthcare, housing, childcare, job training, and other services that may help meet your family’s needs. We also offer Spanish-language classes and bilingual advocates to ensure more women can access the support they need.

Adoption Is Another Option to Explore

If parenting doesn’t feel like the right fit, adoption is another option you can consider.

Modern adoption allows you to make many of the decisions throughout the process, including selecting the adoptive family and choosing the level of communication you’d like to have after placement. Adoption services are typically provided at no cost to the birth mother, and many pregnancy-related expenses may be covered.

If you’d like to learn more, Vera Women’s Center can connect you with trusted adoption agencies to answer your questions and explain the process.

Confirm Your Pregnancy Before Making a Decision

Before making any pregnancy decision, it’s important to understand your pregnancy from a medical perspective.

A lab-quality pregnancy test can detect the pregnancy hormone human chorionic gonadotropin(hCG), but a limited ultrasound provides additional information, including how far along you are, whether the pregnancy is located in the uterus, and whether the pregnancy appears to be progressing. A limited ultrasound can also identify an ectopic pregnancy, which occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus and requires immediate medical attention.

Having this information can help you make an informed decision based on facts rather than financial pressure alone.
