The Unplanned Pregnancy-Now What??

3/30/2016

0 Comments

 
​Imagine for a moment that you are a young lady.  You are either in high school or just out of school.  You have your whole life before you!  These are the fun years!  You can travel, make friends, hang out, maybe continue school or start a career in the field of your dreams!  The sky is the limit!
Picture
​You wake up one morning and you know something isn’t right.  You feel different but don’t know what this new sensation is.  It isn’t a bad feeling but you do feel a difference.  What could it be?  Then you start to think.  “Oh no!  It couldn’t be!  There is no way it can be!  We used protection!  God wouldn’t do this to me.  He knows I’m not ready.”
​The tests confirm it.  You are pregnant.  Now what?  You start to evaluate the situation.  You can’t tell your parents.  They will be so upset and disappointed.  You tell your baby’s father but he says it isn’t his problem and he wants you to have an abortion.  He will even take you just to be done with it.  It would be the easiest way.  You won’t have to tell your parents.  You wouldn’t have to change your plans.  Your life will continue as you have planned.  It would be so easy.

​​There is something else though.  You have heard abortion is taking a life.  You don’t know if that is true or not.  All you know is that you feel Cornered…. Pressured….. Confused.  You just want it to go away.  You decide that you have some time to think about it.  After all, you can hide it for a couple of months while you figure things out.  Nobody needs to know.
The initial shock wears off and you decide to tell your best friend.  You can trust her to keep your secret and help guide you in your decision.  She has always supported you and you know she will do so now, no matter what you decide.  You were right.  She heard you without judging.  She helped you through your tears.  She talks you through your options and offers help.  She takes you for an ultra sound.
What a turning point!!  That is no little blob of tissue!  That is a baby.  That is your baby.  Your baby is so small and helpless.  How could you think of an abortion?  What can you do?  Now the really hard decisions come.
This is where the mothers at New Beginnings have been.  Not exactly, and every situation is different, but they experienced an unexpected pregnancy and they decided to give their child a chance.  What a wonderful chance to start a new life for these women and their babies!  At New Beginnings these young women can find God’s Word, structure, support, encouragement, and knowledge.  They can grow and mature as they await the arrival of their baby and get the help and support they need during those first few years of their child’s life.
A big THANK YOU to all of you who have given of their time, talents, and abilities to help and support us here at New Beginnings.
