Are You Pregnant And Scared Because You Don’t Know What to Do?

Discovering you are pregnant is not always a time of joy and excitement - it can be downright terrifying. If you recently discovered you are pregnant, you may feel uncertain and scared for your future. Most women know they have the option to terminate their pregnancy, but they aren’t always aware of the other resources available to them. Pregnant options in New Mexico also include keeping your baby or adoption, and either one is much more achievable than it may seem. At Carenet, we want to empower you so that you feel confident about your future, no matter what you decide to do.

Is Abortion an Option for You?

Regardless of how a woman feels before she gets pregnant, once you know you are pregnant, the possibility of abortion may make you feel differently than it did before. If you do not think you can ethically or morally have an abortion, or just choose not to, there are still options available to you.

What Are Some Other Options for You and Your Baby?

In addition to having plenty of adoption options for expectant mothers, New Mexico also has a lot of resources that allow you to get on your feet and raise your baby on your own, with or without a partner. If adoption is an option that appeals to you, speak with a lawyer to make sure the terms are what you want. Open adoptions are a way to be able to be involved while still pursuing adoption. If you are not emotionally prepared to give your child up for adoption, there are multiple resources to help you raise your baby yourself.

How Will You Afford the Expenses of Being Pregnant?

Special public assistance is available to expectant mothers, and if you need housing or other assistance, it may be expedited when you’re pregnant. If you are in a domestic violence situation, your local WIC office, Job and Family Services office, or your doctor’s office are all great places to speak with someone privately about getting somewhere stable and safe.
