Unplanned Pregnancy

Over half of the pregnancies in the United States are unplanned.

At Birthright we see nearly 1000 women each year with unplanned pregnancies or complicated pregnancy situations.

It is normal for your thoughts about your pregnancy to change frequently. It is important for you to care for yourself and make decisions that are healthy for you and your baby.

If you have shared the fact that you are pregnant with people, you are likely hearing many opinions on what you should do. You may be feeling afraid to tell anyone.

Either way, Birthright is a safe, confidential place to talk to someone who will focus on you. We will support you in navigating your pregnancy and mapping out the best plan for you.

Pregnancy Help – Counseling

Our counseling program includes crisis, individual, group, postpartum, post-abortion, and father’s counseling.

Our counselors are experienced in the areas of trauma, domestic violence, mental health, substance use, housing, support systems, community resources, securing prenatal care and perinatal and postpartum anxiety and depression.

Disclaimer: Counseling is not just for people with mental health problems. Our professional counselors are ready to listen no matter how big or small your problem.

Stressful situations affect us all differently. If you do have something bigger going on, Birthright’s counselors have the knowledge, training and experience to help you.

Pregnancy Testing

We use the Pro Advantage hCG urine test. This test qualitatively detects hCG (the pregnancy hormone) at the sensitivity of 25ml U/mL.On average pregnancy can be detected at 7-10 days after conception. Our tests are run on site at a CLIA regulated lab.

Pregnancy tests are provided free of charge.

Group Counseling and Classes

We have classes and support groups focusing on preparing for motherhood, relationships, self-advocacy, mental health, nutrition, infant safety, labor and delivery, continuing education and postpartum emotions. Being surrounded by other women who are in a similar situation can be reassuring.

Postpartum groups are ongoing. This is a group to discuss the joys, emotions and concerns of being a new mother.

You won’t be asked to provide a lot of information. Everything you say and any information you give is kept confidential. No one will be able to get information about you without your written consent.

Birthright is staffed by trained professionals. You will meet with a pregnancy counselor. She will listen to you, answer your questions and tell you about Birthright’s services and programs.

You can bring the father of your baby with you or a friend or family member to accompany you. It’s up to you if you want them to sit in with you when you meet with your counselor.

You can meet with the same counselor as often as necessary through your pregnancy and after your baby is born. You can call, text or email her as well.
