Tell A Friend

When a friend tells you she is pregnant, how can you be there for her?  

She tells you because she trust you.  She hopes that a conversation with you can help in someway.  Whether its to just get the words out or perhaps she thinks you have suggestions that can help.  It doesn’t matter why she told you, it just matters that you are there to hold her hand, to help in any way you can.  

So, how can you help?  

Tell her she has time to make life altering decisions.  Even though the timing might be hard and your friend isn’t ready to be a mom, she still has time to make decisions and taking the time to make choices will only yield more positive results.  A rash and rushed choice can easily turn into regret for decades.  

Listen to her.  She has fears and concerns.  A friend who listens is a friend who is helping.  

Tell her about us.  We can offer a free pregnancy test, limited OB ultrasound, true choices and a listening ear, free from judgment. We are caring, compassionate and everything we do is confidential.

Plan C

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.

Positive Test? Now What?

“Surprise !?  All I wanted was a closer relationship with my boyfriend, and now I think I have a positive pregnancy test.”   Maybe it’s not true.  How can you know for sure?  This is a serious matter that needs verification, but without breaking the bank.    The Ramona Women’s Clinic can meet this need by both a urine test and an ultrasound at no charge to you.  Even a positive urine test does not mean the baby is in a position to support their own life.  That information can only be known by an ultrasound. This is the objective clinical information you need and our clinic can provide to all who seek our services.  Once this information is known, then the next step of decision making will be made by an informed mother, not someone in a state of panic.  A mother’s decision to choose life for her baby or not needs careful thought.  One decision path ends quickly and there’s no turning back, while the other may look like a mountain too high to climb but hasn’t it been done before?  How is that mountain of carrying an unplanned baby accomplished?  You may have no money, no insurance, and no place to stay, but did you know there are resources for these needs, too?  You need more information.  This may be a challenging time but it’s up to you to rise up and seek out this knowledge for your own sake.  How have other women felt after an abortion?  How have they felt after giving life to their baby and selecting an adoption family?  Why can’t you just google this choice?  This decision is not black and white or a computer calculation from a machine.  It’s a human choice that impacts human life for both mother, father, and baby. How will you do it?   Surely, you should gather information.  Many have been in this place before.  How did they decide?  Does everyone trembling in fear get informed with no regrets?  Come and find out.  Seekers are welcomed here.  Then you’re ready to make your decision.
