Perhaps you’re reading this because you are concerned that you may be pregnant by someone you met online. Technology and apps like Tinder have attempted to make dating easier; however, often there are still complications.
Avenue Women’s Center is here as the first step for women facing unplanned pregnancy. Call, text, or email to make an appointment today at one of our five DuPage County locations for a free consultation.
When you hear the phrases “Swipe right” and “Swipe left,” what is the first thing that pops into your mind? It’s safe to say that most members of today’s younger generation would think of the app Tinder. For those of you who don’t know what Tinder is, Tinder is a dating app you can download on your phone that allows you to meet others in your area. The difference between Tinder and other dating apps is that with Tinder, the first thing you see is a person’s picture. Depending on whether you “like what you see” you can swipe to the right or to the left to either remove that person from your search or to chat with them.
Although Tinder seems like just a fun and innocent dating app (which it can be!), many now consider Tinder as more of a “hook-up” app that can be used for “one-night stands” with no strings attached. Some users find this appealing because it eliminates concerns about a relationship or commitment. But what happens when pregnancy becomes a possibility? How do you proceed when a one-night stand turns into a positive pregnancy test? It’s so easy to think, “that won’t happen to me.” However, the truth of the matter is that it is more common than we think. If you or a friend found yourself in a similar situation, what would you do? Where would you go? Who would you turn to?
