“My Abortion Appointment Is Getting Closer… Why Am I Feeling Unsure?”
If you’ve recently discovered an unexpected pregnancy and have made an appointment for an abortion, you may be experiencing a lot of complicated emotions.
Maybe you felt certain about your decision when you scheduled the appointment. But as the day gets closer, you may be feeling anxious, uncertain, overwhelmed, or even confused about what you really want.
Those feelings don’t mean something is wrong with you.
An unexpected pregnancy can bring a wide range of emotions, and it’s completely normal to have questions or experience changing feelings as you process what comes next.
At Serenity Pregnancy Resource Center, you don’t have to figure everything out alone. We provide a safe, compassionate, and confidential place to ask those hard questions, learn more about your pregnancy, and talk through your options without judgment or pressure.
Our free and confidential services include pregnancy testing, confirmation ultrasounds, pregnancy options consultations, sti testing and practical support for women and men facing an unexpected pregnancy.
It’s Okay to Pause
When facing an unexpected pregnancy, it can feel like everything needs to happen immediately. You may feel pressure from circumstances, other people, or even your own fears to make a decision quickly.
But taking time to slow down and gather information can help you make a decision you feel confident about.
Take a breath.
Give yourself permission to acknowledge what you’re feeling. You don’t have to ignore your questions simply because you’ve already scheduled an appointment.
It’s okay to pause, ask questions, and make sure you have the information you need before moving forward.
You Don’t Have to Walk Through This Alone
Pregnancy decisions can feel incredibly heavy when you’re carrying them by yourself.
Consider reaching out to someone you trust—your partner, a close friend, family member, counselor, pastor, or a compassionate pregnancy support professional.
You deserve to have someone who will listen to your concerns, respect your privacy, and support you as you work through your circumstances.
If you don’t know who to turn to, Serenity is here.
You can talk with our staff about your pregnancy, your questions, and the circumstances surrounding your decision. You will be met with compassion and treated with dignity and respect.
Get the Information You Need
Sometimes anxiety comes from simply not knowing what to expect.
Learning more about your pregnancy and understanding all of your options can help you feel more prepared. A confirmation ultrasound can provide important information about your pregnancy, while an options consultation gives you an opportunity to talk through parenting, adoption, and abortion in a supportive environment.
At Serenity, our goal is not to pressure you into a decision. Our goal is to provide accurate information, compassionate support, and a safe place for you to consider your next steps. Because information makes for an informed and confident decision.
Your Feelings Matter
You may feel confident one moment and uncertain the next. You may feel scared about the future or unsure how you could possibly handle an unexpected pregnancy.
Whatever you’re feeling, you don’t have to hide it.
Take time to process. Ask questions. Gather information. Talk with someone you trust.
And remember: you are not alone.
Serenity Pregnancy Resource Center is here to walk alongside you with free, confidential pregnancy services and compassionate support.
Whether you’re looking for a pregnancy test, confirmation ultrasound, pregnancy options consultation, or simply someone who will listen, we’re here for you.
You don’t have to have everything figured out today. Let us walk with you through the next step.
