Being faced with an unplanned pregnancy is always a little frightening. In one moment, you’re suddenly facing the prospect of parenthood. In the few minutes it takes to check the test, everything changes.
The first moments after seeing a positive pregnancy test can feel like a whirlwind, and you may find yourself with lots of questions and very few answers. What do I do now? Who do I tell? Am I ready for this? Should I take another test? There won’t necessarily be easy answers to all the questions you’ll find yourself asking, but taking the right steps now can help you make a confident decision.
Panic is often a first instinct after a positive pregnancy test when you weren’t expecting parenthood yet. However, it’s important to stay as calm as possible. Excessive stress isn’t good for your health, and it can prevent you from making the best decision. Do what you can to stay calm, whether it is your preferred form of self-care or another relaxation method. If you can, talk about your situation with loved ones like your partner, close friends, or parents. Don’t hesitate to lean on those around you.
You’ve probably already taken a test, but before making any big decisions, you should probably take another to ensure you didn’t get a
false positive.
Early pregnancies can be unpredictable; a significant percentage of pregnancies in the first few weeks end in miscarriage, often before a woman even knows she’s pregnant. Before making any decisions, it’s important to get an accurate test. You don’t have to wait and wonder. At Avail NYC, free same-day pregnancy test appointments are always available, giving you a caring, confidential resource at any time.
With a
self-administered, laboratory-quality pregnancy test, you can confirm your pregnancy and learn more about the options available to you.
If you and your partner are not sure how to proceed with the pregnancy, a listening ear can be a huge benefit, helping you to evaluate your options and make a confident, informed decision. At
Avail NYC, we offer confidential meetings with our compassionate expert advocates, giving you the tools to fully evaluate your situation and make an empowered choice.
