Life can feel intense at any time of year—work, relationships, finances, and family expectations can all add pressure. If you’re facing a possible or confirmed unplanned pregnancy, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed. You deserve accurate information, space to breathe, and support as you consider what comes next.
You do not have to navigate this alone. Avenue Women’s Center is here to offer compassionate care and medically accurate information. Take your first step toward clarity by scheduling a free appointment online.
Start with Confirmed Information
The first step is to establish accurate medical facts. While a home pregnancy test can provide an initial indication, a medical-grade test offers reliability and reduces the risk of misreading or false results. Avenue Women’s Center provides highly accurate lab-quality pregnancy tests at no cost and in a fully confidential environment, with trained staff available to guide you through the process.
If your test is positive, an ultrasound is a beneficial next step. An ultrasound answers three essential questions:
- Viability: Is the pregnancy developing as expected? Does it look likely to continue on its own?
- Location: Is the pregnancy in the uterus, or is there a possibility of an ectopic pregnancy requiring immediate medical attention?
- Gestational Age: How far along are you? This detail helps you understand your options, estimated due date, and next steps.
We offer ultrasounds to those who qualify at no cost, helping you access critical health information.
Navigating Added Pressure and Emotions
The pace of the holiday season, family expectations, travel, financial strain, and increased social activity can intensify an already emotional situation. If you are processing an unexpected pregnancy, these pressures may feel overwhelming.
Give yourself permission to slow down and protect your well-being by:
- Setting Boundaries: Decline commitments that add unnecessary stress.
- Taking Mindful Pauses: Incorporate brief moments of rest, such as a quiet walk or a few minutes of deep breathing.
- Staying Present: Focus on your immediate needs rather than future uncertainties.
