Exploring the Choice to Parent
When you first learn you’re pregnant, your mind may jump ahead to questions about your future.
Can I do this? Will I have support? How will this change my life?
At Women’s Clinics, we provide free and confidential support to help you understand what parenting might look like in your unique life circumstances. Our team will help you explore this option and answer your questions.
What to Consider
Parenting is a big step, but it’s also a path many women find rewarding. As you reflect on it, you may think about:
- What kind of parent you want to be
- How parenting may fit with your goals or work
- What support you already have from a partner, family, or friends
- What resources you may need to feel prepared
- Whether parenting aligns with your long-term hopes and values
There is no “perfect” time to parent, and no one does it flawlessly. What matters is that you feel supported and informed so you can feel confident about this next chapter.
Building Confidence
Through our LifeSense Educational Classes, the Women’s Clinics offers a variety of no-cost educational and practical resources to help you begin this journey, including:
- Prenatal and newborn education to help you understand your changing body, prepare for birth, and care for a newborn
- Parenting classes on topics such as budgeting, discipline, and more
- Fatherhood support, led by trained male team members, to address specific concerns
- Material assistance, including diapers, clothing, wipes, and other essentials
- Community referrals for housing, medical care, insurance enrollment, childcare, and more
Our goal is to make sure you never feel alone or unprepared as you explore parenting.
