An unexpected positive pregnancy test can send your mind racing in a dozen directions at once. Fear, confusion, and worry can crowd in before you have had a moment to process your result.
Take heart: you don’t have to have all the answers right away, and you certainly don’t have to sort it out alone.
Facing an unplanned pregnancy one clear step at a time makes the road ahead far less daunting. At Birthright of Memphis, we care about you, and we are ready to walk with you.
Make a free and confidential appointment today to learn how we can support you.
Confirm Your Pregnancy
Before anything else, be sure to confirm your pregnancy and gather more information.
A late period or a home test is a starting point, not a final answer. While at-home pregnancy tests are usually accurate, it is possible to get a false positive.
Verify your at-home result with a free, lab-quality pregnancy test at Birthright of Memphis. We can talk about next steps after a positive result, and everything we offer.
Talk With Someone Who Listens
Carrying this news by yourself can feel isolating. Sharing your news and thoughts with a trusted friend, family member, or mentor can bring both relief and perspective.
You can also visit us to talk about your situation. Sometimes, it’s comforting to tell someone outside of your circle as a starting point.
Tend to Your Body and Mind
Take care of yourself while you weigh your options and consider what to do about your pregnancy.
Simple habits such as eating healthy meals, taking time to rest, drinking plenty of water, getting enough sleep, and exercising help establish stability as you think.
Gather Your Support and Resources
Many women facing an unexpected pregnancy worry about money, relationships, school, or long-term plans. Those concerns are understandable, and people and programs are ready to help.
Through our free, confidential mentoring services, we offer compassion, support, education, and resources to help you create a plan. Our Baby Steps Program provides parenting education and a special gift at the end of your pregnancy, so you can prepare for what lies ahead.
We Are Here for You
We know you weren’t expecting to be pregnant, but you don’t need to figure out the next steps by yourself. At Birthright of Memphis, you’ll feel supported, informed, and cared for.
Whatever you are feeling at this moment, you will find no judgment here, only a safe place to ask questions and help for the days to come.
