Parenting

Yes! We would be happy to talk to you about your financial situation and provide you with the best resources for your circumstance!

That is a totally normal concern and we are here to help you work through that. No matter what anyone else thinks, this decision about pregnancy is one you have to make and will live with for the rest of your life. Ultimately, you have to do what is best for you. Many people who have found themselves in an unplanned pregnancy are surprised to find out how supportive their family and friends are throughout their pregnancy and when the baby arrives, even if at first they react negatively to the pregnancy. No matter what your situation is with your family, friends and the father of the baby, we can help you think through what telling them might look like and be a safe place for you to work through those concerns.

Yes, absolutely! There are so many resources available to help you with continuing your education and having a career while also being a parent! It may look differently than you originally thought, but we are here to help and empower you to be an amazing parent while also continuing to pursue your dreams. We can also provide you with local and campus resources that can help you with this!

We have a list of reputable doctor referrals in the Athens area that we can share with you and give you information on the first steps of prenatal care. We can provide you with a lab-certified pregnancy test confirmed by a limited ultrasound and then refer you to a local OBGYN who will take care of you medically throughout the rest of your pregnancy.
