We are here to help you.
An unexpected pregnancy can bring with it overwhelming concerns, fears, and doubts. As a student with a bright future ahead, you are in a unique situation with unique concerns about what you should do. You may wonder what will happen to your dreams and aspirations, and if you have any options or resources to guide you.
Lifeline Pregnancy Help Clinic can help you think through your personal situation and find the best option for you.
So…I think I’m pregnant but I’m still a student…What should I do now?
- First, verify you are pregnant with a lab-quality test
- If you have a positive test, confirm you currently have a viable pregnancy with an ultrasound performed by a certified nurse.
(We can schedule an ultrasound after a positive pregnancy test at Lifeline.)
At Lifeline, our clinic provides your pregnancy test and other services at no charge to you. Our services are completely confidential, so the decision to tell your parents, teachers, or friends is completely up to you. We will also help you with resources and information about your options moving forward.
