Facing An Unplanned Pregnancy? We Can Help!
Options
Abortion
Having an abortion is never an "easy" solution to your unexpected pregnancy. Abortion is a serious medical, as well as an emotional decision. Learn about the various procedures before you decide.
Adoption
Choosing to place your baby for adoption is incredibly difficult. However, if you don't plan on terminating your pregnancy, but know that you are incapable of raising a child, adoption is the perfect choice. Plus, the type of adoption plan is entirely up to you.
Parenting
With Pregnancy Options by your side, you'll have the education, resources and emotional support you need to parent. There is no parenting manual, but we believe you can do it. Consider this option for your future.

You can come in at any time, no appointment is needed. If you want to make an appointment then contact us and we can schedule your appointment for the time that works best for you.

All of our services are provided at no cost to you. That means our only focus is providing you with the care and information you need to make the best decisions for your health.
How long does an appointment usually last?
Appointments can vary depending on your need and any testing that you require.

Is my appointment confidential?
Yes! All of our services are completely confidential. You can have the peace of mind knowing that the information and results you receive at your appointment will be respected with the highest confidentiality except when reporting is mandated by state law.
Am I pregnant?
Symptoms of pregnancy include:
- A missed period
- Tenderness in your breasts
- Having to urinate more often
- Feeling sick to your stomach
- Feeling tired
Not every woman experiences the same symptoms. To know for sure, visit Pregnancy Options, and receive no cost, completely confidential pregnancy testing. By having one of our registered nurses perform the test, you’ll know you’re getting the correct result. Our tests are extremely sensitive and should be administered one week past your missed period.
How far along am I?
To know how far along your pregnancy is, you need to have a limited obstetrical ultrasound. At Pregnancy Options, we offer free limited obstetrical ultrasounds. A limited obstetrical ultrasound gives you real-time information. You’ll learn how far along you are, if your pregnancy is viable (is there a heartbeat), and where your pregnancy is located. All of these facts are important for determining the next steps.
Could I have an STD?
If you are sexually active, you should be tested for an STD (sexually transmitted disease). Often, you won’t have any symptoms with STDs in the beginning, but if left untreated, issues will occur later. Some STDs are incurable and can only be managed with medication. Others, if treated early, can be cured. It is possible to get an STD again, so we recommend regular testing. At Pregnancy Options, we can refer you for no cost STD and STI screening with a medical director.
