The idea of parenting might be a little scary, and that’s natural. However, it is a potential option if you are experiencing an unexpected pregnancy.
When considering parenting, you may have significant questions like…
- Will my partner, parents, or friends support me?
- How will I take care of my child financially?
- Can I continue my education or career?
- What about childcare?
These questions are common, and you can work through them with our support. Know that parenting can be one of the most rewarding things you will ever do.
