I Don’t Want to Be Pregnant. Is Abortion My Only Option?

We’re glad you’re asking this question. No, abortion isn’t your only option, but choosing to end your pregnancy can only happen through abortion.

Often, when a woman discovers she’s unexpectedly pregnant, her first thought may be to have an abortion. She’s afraid of what others might think, how disappointed and angry her parents will be, or that she’ll lose her partner if she doesn’t agree to it.

What are your reasons? Lamb of God Maternity Home provides a place to share with someone who cares openly. Schedule a no-cost, confidential appointment today. We’re here to help you determine your next step.

Do You Need a Safe Space?

Facing an unexpected pregnancy can be emotionally and physically exhausting. You may wonder how you would make it through nine months. 

Women considering abortion do so for a variety of reasons: they might be in an abusive relationship, have mental health issues, lack finances, or simply aren’t ready to be a mother. 

At Lamb of God, we understand. That’s why we provide a safe and supportive maternity home. We offer 24/7 wrap-around physical and emotional care. 

You Do Have Other Options

Our caring team will help you look at your other options. When you stay with us, we’ll talk about the option of parenting your child or placing them for adoption. Neither of those may seem like good options if you don’t want to be pregnant, but we can discuss the benefits of both.

You Can Parent, If You Wish

Maybe, just maybe, you’re meant to parent your child. Believe it or not, it isn’t impossible. We’ll provide you with career and vocational guidance, life skills, and coordination with outside services and programs.

There are many programs ready and waiting to help single mothers parent successfully. We can make sure you have everything you need to have a firm foundation for you and your baby.

Placing Your Child for Adoption

Adoption is incredibly misunderstood. Women think someone will take their baby and give them to strangers. They imagine they will never see them again. But nothing can be further from the truth. 

Today, an expectant mother or birth mother makes all of the decisions. She selects the couple that will raise her child and chooses how much contact she wants to have with her child and their adoptive family in the future.

You are in control of the process. You can create a custom adoption plan that is right for you and your baby. There’s no doubt about it: placing a child for adoption is emotionally difficult, but there is no more loving and selfless act if you’re not ready to parent your child.

Is Abortion the Answer?

You should be aware of the physical and mental health risks associated with abortion. The team at Lamb of God Maternity Home does not perform or refer for abortion, but we do want you to be aware of what could happen. 

The FDA approves the use of the abortion pill drugs through 10 weeks of pregnancy only. If you’re considering the abortion pill method, you must know how many weeks and days you have been pregnant. 

Risks of the abortion pill include prolonged heavy bleeding, infection, and the possibility of an incomplete abortion. The length of your pregnancy also determines the various surgical procedures you qualify for. Risks of a surgical procedure include perforation of your uterus, damage to your cervix, or possibly an infection.
