1. Receive an ultrasound to medically confirm your pregnancy.
An ultrasound is the only way to medically confirm your pregnancy and verify key details.
If you receive a positive pregnancy test at Bella, we’ll provide a limited obstetrical ultrasound. The scan will confirm the pregnancy’s viability, meaning it is progressing as expected, there is a heartbeat, and it is in the uterus. The scan can also tell how far along you are.
If your pregnancy has stopped developing, an abortion would not be necessary. And if your pregnancy is not located in the uterus (this is called an ectopic pregnancy), it cannot survive. You would need immediate medical treatment to prevent complications and protect your health.
You can gather more information about your options with the facts from an ultrasound.
2. Learn the side effects and risks of abortion.
Learning about your pregnancy options is vital to making a clear decision. If you are considering abortion, Bella will discuss the risks and side effects of the procedure you’d be eligible for (based on how far along you are).
Additionally, it is crucial to speak to a medical provider who knows your health history. Based on your health history, the medications you take, and other health concerns, abortion may pose a higher risk for you. A medical provider can offer clarity for your specific situation.
3. Learn about parenting and adoption.
Even if you are leaning toward abortion, it is important to learn about all your options. We’re here for you to discuss your thoughts and fears about parenting and adoption.
Parenting is challenging, but it can also be very rewarding. Whether you are in a relationship or are a single parent, you deserve support. We provide parenting and life skill classes, as well as material assistance to help you on this journey.
Adoption is a sacrificial choice that can provide peace of mind about your child’s future and well-being. You can select the adoptive parents and form a relationship with your child, or you can choose to limit contact. It’s not uncommon for adoption agencies to cover all legal, medical, and adoption service expenses.
We provide adoption agency referrals so that you can learn more about this option.
Remember, this is your choice. We provide unbiased information so you can make a confident one.
