What Pregnancy Resources of Abilene Offers
Free and Confidential Pregnancy Testing
The first step in confirming a pregnancy is taking a test. PRA provides free, confidential pregnancy testing in a supportive environment. This service is especially valuable for those who may not have the means to purchase a test or who want to ensure privacy during this sensitive time. The tests used are professional quality, offering accurate results to help you make informed decisions quickly.
Ultrasound Services
After a positive pregnancy test, PRA offers free ultrasound exams. Ultrasounds are crucial for determining the viability (that the pregnancy has not miscarried and is not ectopic) and establishing how far along you are. This information is essential before making any decisions about your pregnancy.
Professional Counseling and Emotional Support
Navigating an unplanned pregnancy involves more than just medical care—it’s also about emotional well-being. PRA provides access to a Licensed Professional Counselor who can guide you through your options, answer your questions, and support you emotionally. Whether you’re feeling anxious, scared, or uncertain, you’ll find a non-judgmental space to process your feelings.
Education and Resources
PRA offers monthly classes, support groups, and educational materials on pregnancy, parenting, adoption, and reproductive health. These resources empower you to make informed choices and prepare for whatever path you choose. Education covers topics like prenatal care, nutrition, and what to expect during pregnancy, helping you feel confident and prepared.
Material Assistance
For those continuing their pregnancy, PRA can provide material support such as baby clothes, diapers, maternity supplies, and so much more. This practical help can ease financial concerns and ensure you and your baby have what you need.
Referrals to Healthcare and Community Services
When you need medical care beyond what PRA provides, we can refer you to local healthcare providers for prenatal care and other services. Early prenatal care is vital for your health and the health of your baby, and PRA’s connections in the community ensure you get the support you need.
Your Options and Decision-Making Support
Pregnancy Resources of Abilene is committed to providing unbiased, medically accurate information about all your options: parenting, adoption, and abortion. Our approach is non-directive and pressure-free, ensuring you have the space and support to make the decision that is right for you.
We believe in empowering women with information and support, not pressure or politics. Our goal is to help you thrive, whatever you decide. Confidentiality is our top priority, and every service is provided with compassion and respect.
