If you are in the early stages of pregnancy, you may still be deciding whether to continue or end the pregnancy. While the decision is yours alone to make, you don't have to be alone as you make it. If you come to our office and you are undecided, we will date your pregnancy and let you know how long you have to make your decision.
Many women are surprised to discover how much time they have to consider their options.
We will give you all of the medical information about different options to help you with your decision, and we can also refer you to a counselor if that would help. If you are considering an abortion, you may be feeling concerned about whether other people will approve of and support your choice. As you make your decision, it might help you to know that for most of human history, ending an early pregnancy was generally accepted, more so than today. In America, from Colonial times until the mid 1800's, women regularly ended early pregnancies, and this was not considered to be a political or religious problem. Women ended early pregnancies by using a variety of herbs that they grew themselves, and with the help of midwives.
