Common Worries: You're Not the First to Feel This Way
If you're a young woman or man facing an unexpected pregnancy, you might be battling worries about everything:
-
"My life is over." Will you still be able to go to school, have a social life, and chase your dreams? It's okay to feel overwhelmed by the idea of your life-changing. But the truth is young parents find ways to achieve their goals. There are resources designed specifically to help you stay in school, find childcare, and build a future for you and your baby if that's your chosen path. A Place for Women in Waipio can connect you with programs that offer everything from scholarships to parenting classes.
-
"What will my family and friends think?" Are you afraid of their judgment or disappointment? The people who truly love you want the best for you, even if they're initially surprised. Having honest conversations is important, and they might surprise you with their support. We can help you figure out how to approach those conversations and be there for you on that journey as well.
-
"I'm not ready to be a parent." Do you feel overwhelmed by the responsibility? That's completely understandable. Parenting is a huge commitment. You have options, and it's okay to take your time deciding what feels right for you. You may consider adoption, which would allow you to continue on your own path while giving your child the opportunity to thrive in a loving family. If you’re thinking about an abortion, A Place for Women in Waipio provides accurate information to make sure you’re informed on the procedures and risks before making a final decision.
Facing the Fear and Making Your Own Choices
These fears are natural. But remember, they're not necessarily facts. While an unexpected pregnancy will change your life, it doesn't mean it has to derail your dreams or close off options. You are the one who gets to shape what the future holds.
