Autumn is nature’s finest moment. The beauty and bounty of the natural world have reached a high point during this much-loved season. After a rewarding summer, it’s time to celebrate the harvest! Winter won’t be far behind. This transition will probably feel challenging and uncomfortable, but the changing of the seasons is a necessary process. Winter is nature’s way of cleansing itself to start fresh in the spring. It’s all part of a good and healthy cycle.
If you’ve ever experienced a “hoped-for” pregnancy (personally or through the eyes of a loved one), you’ve seen how a positive pregnancy test result can sometimes be exciting- like a refreshing new season. Maybe you or your loved one welcomed this transition with open arms. But what if you’re coping with an unexpected pregnancy right now? Your change of circumstances probably feels anything but “cleansing” and “healthy” if that’s the case. You’re likely noticing a lot more decay than renewal during this difficult season of life.
Do you feel like you’re not ready to face a pregnancy… definitely not now, and maybe not ever? Avenue Women’s Center is available to navigate this by your side. We’re a first-step pregnancy clinic that offers free and confidential limited medical services! Our role is to meet you with empathy, listen to your story, and equip you with tools to make a confident decision when the time is right.
