Spring is in full swing. Or, is it? The week that I’m writing this blog, our average temperatures in Chicagoland have been about twenty degrees cooler than usual for this time of year. Many other parts of the country are experiencing far worse weather conditions. Maybe, like me, you’ve been noticing an uptick in news reports of tornados and severe thunderstorms lately. When expectations go unmet (including expectations for pleasant, mild, late-spring weather), it can be easy to feel frustrated and disappointed. Perhaps you’ve been looking outside at the dreary conditions and thinking to yourself, “It’s not supposed to be this way.”
Are you dealing with the shocking circumstances of an unexpected pregnancy right now? If so, any frustration or disappointment you feel about the weather probably pales in comparison to your feelings surrounding this pregnancy. Chances are, you’re not just thinking to yourself, “It’s not supposed to be this way.” You’re screaming it. Avenue Women’s Center is available to meet you in that overwhelming space. We’re here to help quiet those alarm bells in your head by providing reliable information, critical resources, and caring support.
Discover Avenue Women’s Center! We’re a first-step pregnancy clinic that offers medical-grade pregnancy tests, options consultations, and limited medical ultrasounds, all at no cost.
