Hiding My Pregnancy: Would Abortion Be an Option?

Finding out you’re pregnant can leave you feeling anxious, alone, and unsure who you can talk to about your options.

You may feel the urge to hide your pregnancy and keep it a secret. A confidential place can give you the privacy and time to slow down, ask questions, and gather accurate information before deciding what comes next.

You Medical provides accurate information about your options in a compassionate, judgment-free environment so you can make an informed decision, without pressure or fear.

You don’t have to figure this out alone. Schedule an appointment today.

Reflect on What You Truly Want

Your pregnancy decision belongs to you. You do not need to decide about your pregnancy based on other people’s expectations or what they might think if you continue your pregnancy.

Concerns about finances, school, and relationships are valid and may weigh heavily on your decision. Taking time to learn about the support and resources available can help you consider your options with a fuller picture of what may be possible.

Learn About All Your Pregnancy Options

Every pregnancy option comes with its own considerations and responsibilities.

If you’re considering an abortion, it’s important to get accurate information about the procedure, potential risks, side effects, and what you may need to know beforehand. You can also learn about parenting and adoption.

At You Medical, you have the opportunity to slow down and gather information before making any decision. Pregnancy testing and an ultrasound can provide important information about your pregnancy. With the ultrasound results, we can answer your questions, discuss your options, and connect you with resources that may be helpful.

Protect Your Safety

Perhaps hiding your pregnancy is a result of feeling anxious about how your partner, parents, or someone else may react. Consider your safety before sharing the news.

In this case, take safety measures by talking with them in a public setting, bringing a friend or telling them over the phone from a safe location. If you are concerned that someone may become abusive or put you in danger, you do not need to disclose your pregnancy to that person. Instead, it’s important to seek help if you feel threatened, controlled, or pressured into making a pregnancy decision. Contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline online for support or call 800-799-SAFE (7233) any time, day or night. Dial 911 if you are ever in immediate danger.
