If you are wondering whether or not you’re pregnant, your mind is probably racing with questions. It’s common to feel confused, scared or overwhelmed.

The first step to take to see if you might be pregnant is to take a pregnancy test. The Arlington/Mansfield Pregnancy Centers offer this service at no cost to you. Simply call us or schedule an appointment online (walk-in appointments are available but it is recommended to have your appointment scheduled ahead of time).

The next steps include learning about early pregnancy symptoms, and life before birth .

Your pregnancy can only end one of three ways - by becoming a parent, by opting for adoption, or by aborting your baby. All of these options will affect you for the rest of your life, so it is very important to you that you understand these options and can make the best possible decision. It is also very important that you know you are not alone in this! Even if you feel like you are on your own to make this decision - you don't have to be! We would love to sit and talk with you and explain all of your options.

What if I am pregnant?

You have time to make up your own mind based on factual information. Don't make any quick decisions based on fear, panic or pressure. You have the freedom to make any choice you want, but won't be able to choose the consequences of your decision. Carefully weigh the pros and cons, and then take the road that is best for you - not necessarily the easiest, but the one that leads to a healthy, productive future.

You can't change what has happened, but you can carefully consider your next step. You may feel pressure to make a quick decision. Instead, give yourself some time. Where you go from here will have a significant impact on your life. You have options, so make an informed decision.
