Pregnant? You Have Options.

Parenting

You have just learned you are pregnant. You have options and parenting is one of them. 

Considering parenthood at this stage of your life may be new to you. The thought of being a parent can be overwhelming at any time, but especially if the news of your pregnancy is unexpected.  

Caring for a new life is indeed a big responsibility. It can be one of life’s most rewarding experiences. It can also be one of life’s most challenging roles.

Many people aspire to be parents at some point in their lives. Although the timing and your current situation might not align with your plans, your pregnancy still provides an opportunity to experience the joy of becoming a parent.

We can help you understand and realistically evaluate your preparedness for parenting. The old saying that it takes a village to raise a child is true. We can explore with you what assistance is available and most suitable to you and your needs.  

Every expectant mother wants to have a healthy child. Taking good care of your baby means taking good care of yourself. Starting before your baby’s birth, your physical health and emotional well-being are important, as is a healthy lifestyle. We can help you with: 

• Prenatal care and childbirth education.  
• Locating childbirth support such as a doula or mid-wife. 
• Newborn and parenting support.  
• Community resources for pre- and post-natal care, healthy relationships and effective parenting styles. 

Please contact us if you would like to discuss your options further.
