Parenting

Your Unplanned Pregnancy Options

As you consider your options during an unplanned pregnancy, you may be wondering if parenting is the right choice for you. On the journey of choosing to become a parent, you will have difficult questions to answer:

• Am I emotionally prepared to become a parent?

• Can I afford the financial responsibilities of raising a child?

• How will pregnancy impact my physical health?

At Pregnancy Support Services, we are here to walk with you through every step of this process. Our caring and supportive team can offer guidance and answer questions about every aspect of parenting, including:

• Emotional readiness

• Financial considerations

• Relationship dynamics

• Career and education

• Parenting skills

• Social support

• Future planning

• Health considerations

We are committed to empowering women and their partners through our education classes, events, and activities. Our classes include topics like childbirth, breastfeeding, infant CPR, newborn care, and pregnancy nutrition. You can also connect with other pregnant and parenting women in the Durham and Chapel Hill area and build your local support network.

In addition to education, we also offer case management services that can connect you with other resources in the community, such as childcare, food subsidies, and housing.
