Do you feel confident in your plan? How about a new plan?
Plan A…. Have sex. Did that plan include birth control or other forms of contraception? Did that plan succeed? In a national survey done by The Society for Women’s Health, it was found that 43% of 1,000 women across the U.S. become pregnant by accident, and about 50% of those pregnancies were caused by birth control failure.
Plan B… Also known as the “Morning after pill”, it is intended to be taken within 72 hours. This form of emergency contraception almost always invokes a negative reaction in the hormonal cycle, which can cause many adverse side effects. Even then, Plan B may not be an effective solution.
Sometimes, your Plan-A and Plan-B fail, or perhaps you simply didn’t plan to be in this situation and now you are onto Plan-C.
Plan C… Have an abortion. This can be effective in terminating a pregnancy, can cause negative responses throughout the body and/or mind. Post-Abortion Syndrome (PAS) affects 19% of women, and may cause grief, nightmares, anxiety, and irritability, even months after the procedure. Even worse, 10-30% of women experience some form of serious psychological problems, which can become developmentally very persistent. Physically, the body’s response can be uncontrollably painful. This method can easily cause more harm than good, and can quickly become a bad option for your health.
When Plans A, B, and C aren’t right for you, and you’re facing an unexpected pregnancy, it is best not to make a hasty decision. During this important decision, you should surround yourself with people who want to uplift, educate and mentor you through this experience, all to give you the best outcome and the most resources.
This would be a good time to reach out to someone. Perhaps you cannot reach out to your best friend or family member, simply because they wouldn’t understand how Plans A, B and C aren’t for you. Or maybe someone you believed would be there for you just can’t help…
Reach out to us. There are options readily available to you to lovingly guide you.
Real choices with positive effects and empowering results are here and available to help.
