 I think I might be Pregnant

WHAT ARE SOME EARLY SIGNS OF PREGNANCY?
During pregnancy, your body goes through many changes. Commons symptoms include: • Missed Period; • Nausea and Vomiting  • Breast Tenderness • Frequent Urination  • Feeling Tired  • Mood Swings

To confirm that you are pregnant, visit you local health care provider or contact us about receiving a free pregnancy test by calling 203-271-2703 Also here at Hope Pregnancy Center, your counselor will give you resources and referrals to help you with your pregnancy.

WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?
An unwanted pregnancy can cause a crisis in a woman's life. Before you decide, make sure you know your options. You can abort or carry your baby. If you choose abortion, make sure you know the procedures and risks associated with that choice. If you carry your baby, you can either parent or place your child with adopting parents. While this may seem difficult, it is a loving choice, as you're giving life to your baby and to people who long for a child of their own. If you choose to parent, the task may seem daunting, especially if you're single. But at Pregnancy Resource Center, we can help you with necessities for the baby, including all types of referrals - from housing, to medical, to financial and even adoption. Whatever your choice, Pregnancy Resource Center is here to help you make an informed decision.

Know Your Options -- You have the legal right to choose the outcome of your pregnancy. But real empowerment comes when you find the resources and inner strength necessary to make your best choice. Here are some other options.

Parenting -- Choosing to continue your pregnancy and to parent is very challenging. But with the support of caring people, parenting classes, and other resources, many women find the help they need to make this choice.

Adoption -- You may decide to place your child for adoption. Each year over 50,000 women in America make this choice. This loving decision is often made by women who first thought abortion was their only way out.

Help Is Available  -- Facing an unexpected pregnancy can seem overwhelming. That is why knowing where to go for help is important. Talk to someone you can trust - your partner, your parents, a pastor, a priest or perhaps a good friend. Also, the caring people at your pregnancy center are available to help you through this difficult time. To find a pregnancy center near you, call 1-800-395-HELP.

Pregnant? Scared?

When it comes to making choices about relationships, your lifestyle and sexual activities, you deserve the best. Like other teenagers, you may be asking many questions about dating, sex and other issues. When should I date? How do I know if my
