Have you recently found out that you are pregnant? Are you wondering if parenting is the right choice for you? Or maybe you feel like parenting would be impossible!? You’re not alone in your worries, fears, or questions. Many women experience similar concern. We’re glad you are asking these questions and want to help you explore the option of parenting. At the Pregnancy Resource Center, we will never pressure you into making a certain decision. We will simply provide you with information, resources, and support so that you can make the best choice for you and your baby.
You have the freedom to ask questions and explore all your options with no pressure or judgement.
As a parent you would be responsible for your child and what they need to live a healthy and full life. Parenting takes time, patience, and will require you to make sacrifices, but being a parent can also be very rewarding. Parenting can give you meaning and purpose in life. You will be able to watch your child grow and will be able to choose how they are raised. Take a minute and imagine what your life would be like if you chose to parent your child. What would your life look like in 1 year? 5 years? 15 years?
You may be asking yourself, what about my career path? What about my future and the plans I had made? What if I can’t afford to parent or don’t know how to be a good parent? These are all valid questions! The good news is you won’t have to navigate parenting alone, and while your plans or career path may need to be altered, you don’t have to give up on your dreams! We offer different programs that help with financial, material, and educational needs.
One of these programs is Parenting Pathways. Through this program, you receive an educational plan personalized to your needs and an advisor to walk alongside you. You can become equipped with knowledge, confidence, and practical skills to care for yourself and your baby. With each educational milestone you complete, you earn brand new items essential for the care of your baby like a crib, car seat, highchair, and more. Parenting Pathways can be started at any point in your pregnancy and goes until your child is 2 years old. You won’t have to navigate pregnancy and parenting alone; we are here for you!
