Wondering about Parenting?
If you recently found out you’re pregnant, thoughts of parenting likely rushed into your mind the moment you saw the positive test.
Depending on your current circumstances, you could have felt a number of emotions. Whether you are excited, unsure, or scared, we can support you as you evaluate this option.
Authentic Parenting
Parenting can be one of the most rewarding and challenging chapters in life. It comes with many laughs, smiles, tears, and frustration as you navigate caring for your child.
However, one of the greatest benefits of parenting is the life-long relationship you’ll develop if you choose this option.
Common Concerns about parenting
We’ve talked to hundreds of clients over the years, and we’ve heard many concerns about parenting.
Some include:
- Difficulties finishing school or beginning a career
- Lack of partner support or involvement
- Feeling too young for parenting
- Uncertainty about finances or housing
If your concerns match any of these, or you have others, that’s completely normal right now. Many feel unprepared to parent, even those with planned pregnancies.
