Exploring Parenting
Parenting after an unexpected pregnancy can feel daunting, yet it can also bring profound joy and purpose. You may wonder how you will manage finances, continue school or work, or find the support you need to raise a child.
You don’t have to navigate the decision-making process alone. My Choices Pregnancy Resource Center provides free and confidential services to help you explore resources and determine whether this option is right for you.
Questions to Reflect On
Before deciding on parenting, it can help to consider a few key questions:
- What kind of support network do I already have, or need to build?
- How can I continue my education or career goals while caring for a child?
- What resources will help me feel prepared and confident?
- What excites me most about becoming a parent?
- What questions do I still need answered?
You don’t need every answer right away. Our caring team of client advocates will walk you through these questions and connect you with helpful resources.
