An unplanned pregnancy can create a strong sense of urgency, but informed decisions are best made with accurate information and time to reflect. Learning about your options means understanding both the medical facts and the personal realities of each path. This clarity can help you choose what aligns with your health, circumstances, and values.
At A Choice for Women, we provide a professional environment where you can explore your options without pressure. Our free counseling services can help you navigate this moment with confidence.
As you consider your options, we invite you to schedule a complimentary, confidential appointment for a lab-quality pregnancy test and a limited ultrasound. Our trained team will confirm your pregnancy’s location, screen for a heartbeat, and measure your gestational age so you can safeguard your health.
Start with Medical Confirmation
An ultrasound answers key questions: Is the pregnancy progressing? Is it located in the uterus? How far along are you? This information is critical because gestational age affects which medical options are available and helps rule out complications such as miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.
Learning About Parenting and Material Support
Choosing to parent involves both emotional and practical considerations, and a range of material support may be available. Federal and state programs can assist with healthcare, nutrition, housing, and financial stability.
Healthcare coverage during pregnancy and after birth may be available through Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Nutrition programs such as WIC and SNAP help support access to healthy food, while housing assistance may be available through local agencies in coordination with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The U.S. Administration for Children & Families (ACF) also oversees programs that support families and caregivers.
Ask us about how Texas-specific programs can help you. We can provide more information, along with material and financial assistance (offered on a case-by-case basis).
Understanding Adoption
Adoption today offers flexibility for the birth mother to create a plan that aligns with her lifestyle and desires. Many adoption plans allow for open, semi-open, or closed arrangements.
National resources such as the Child Welfare Information Gateway, a service of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, provide education about the adoption process and birth parent rights.
Getting Accurate Abortion Information
Medical abortion is an early pregnancy termination method that uses pills to end a pregnancy in up to 10 weeks of gestation, while surgical abortion is a procedure performed in a clinical setting that surgically ends the pregnancy and removes pregnancy tissue. Knowing the procedures, eligibility, and potential risks helps ensure safety and informed decision-making.
Gathering medical-grade information in a reliable environment allows you to focus on your health rather than outside pressure.
A Supportive Place to Decide
A Choice for Women provides women with a safe space to ask questions and receive accurate information. You don’t have to navigate this alone.
