Keep reading to learn some practical steps after a positive pregnancy test.

Step 1. Confirm Your Pregnancy

Pregnancy tests don’t tell the whole story. Visit one of our center locations to confirm your pregnancy. We’ll verify how far along you are in your pregnancy and identify whether it’s progressing inside your uterus with an ultrasound scan.

If your pregnancy appears to be progressing normally, you can move on to step two.

Step 2. Consider Your Options

Unplanned pregnancies can be complicated because you may not feel ready to parent at this time, or you need to seek support to make it possible. After confirming your pregnancy, review all your pregnancy options: parenting, adoption, and abortion.

Learn all you can about each to help you make an informed choice. Care Net Pregnancy Centers of Albuquerque can help you learn about every option.

Step 3. Confide in Someone You Can Trust

An unplanned pregnancy can feel isolating if you haven’t told anyone about it yet. Confide in someone you can trust, like your friend, relative, or partner.

If you are not ready to share the news with anyone you know yet, share how you’re feeling with one of our caring staff members. Talking about your pregnancy can help you mentally and emotionally process it and prepare to tell your loved ones.
