Pressure comes in all types of ways when considering your pregnancy options. It can come internally or externally from those around you. 

It’s important to know how to navigate your emotions around pressure from others, especially when trying to make a final pregnancy decision. We’re here to help with tips along the way. If you need more support, talk to the Hope Women’s Center team to discuss your options in a safe, non-judgmental space.

Take Time to Yourself

First things first, take the time you need for yourself. There is a whirlwind of emotions coming at you from many directions. After having conversations around your pregnancy, this could heighten your feelings even more. 

Take the brief time you need to digest all the opinions and advice coming your way. If you’re feeling pressure from those close to you, create healthy boundaries by communicating your need for some space. It’s not selfish but a much-needed step in the process.

Get Other Support

It’s so beneficial to receive support from someone who won’t pressure you into a certain pregnancy decision. 

Explore your options with someone who will listen and help you better understand all your options: abortion, adoption, and parenting. We at Hope Women’s Center can provide options education to you, free and confidentially.

Remember It’s Your Decision

Even after talking through your decisions with a professional, the decision is ultimately up to you and will impact you the most. Try to make a sound decision by getting all the information you need.

Schedule an appointment today to confirm your pregnancy details and safeguard your health before deciding. We provide free and confidential pregnancy services so you can make an informed decision for your future.
