With school comes many classes, sports, clubs, friendships, and more. An unexpected pregnancy can be difficult to navigate. No matter what you are feeling right now, you are not alone. Making a pregnancy decision in high school can have its ups and downs, but we are here to help you make an informed decision for your future.
1. Confirm Your Pregnancy
Follow up your positive pregnancy test with a lab-quality pregnancy test to ensure your results. Pregnancy tests are most accurate when taken either after a missed period or ten days after possible conception.
After pregnancy is confirmed, we will assist you in scheduling an ultrasound to determine individualized details about your pregnancy, such as:
- Your pregnancy’s viability (if there’s a heartbeat & is progressing)
- Your pregnancy’s location (if pregnancy is located within the uterus)
- Your pregnancy’s gestational age (how far along you are)
Confirming these important pregnancy details will confirm what pregnancy options you’re eligible for and alert you to any potential pregnancy concerns, such as ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage.
Consider Your Options
It can be difficult to make a pregnancy decision, especially if your partner or parent is pressuring you into making a decision that you’re not sure about.
