Pregnant? Unsure what comes next?

You do not have to have the right words If you are not sure what to ask, start with what happened: when your last period started, whether you have taken a pregnancy test, and what you are most worried about right now.

You may have more questions than answers right now A late period. A positive home test. A relationship that suddenly feels complicated. School, work, money, family, or plans that did not include a pregnancy. Whatever is in front of you, you can take this one step at a time.

You can get clear answers on common pregnancy and abortion-related questions, talk with a nurse, and find pregnancy centers and other resources across Missouri. You do not need to know what you want before you reach out.

We do not provide or refer for abortion. A nurse can talk with you in chat, or write back on the form. Free and private. Local pregnancy centers may offer tests, ultrasounds, classes, or aid at their location — confirm with them before you go.

A good first step is getting clear information - Find out whether you may be pregnant and when pregnancy testing is most useful. - Learn why an ultrasound may be recommended after a positive pregnancy test. - Understand abortion pills and in-clinic abortion procedures. - Look at parenting and adoption without pressure to make an immediate decision. - Find local pregnancy centers and practical resources in your part of Missouri.

Thinking about abortion? You can talk with a nurse before scheduling an abortion or ordering abortion pills online. Ask what information may be useful to have first, including how far along the pregnancy may be and whether an ultrasound is appropriate.

You are allowed to slow the decision down An unexpected pregnancy can make everything feel urgent. Some decisions do have time considerations, but feeling rushed is not the same as being informed. Before making a pregnancy decision, it can help to know what is happening medically, what each option involves, and what support is actually available to you.
