Are you faced with an unplanned pregnancy? Do you need an escape & want life to resume back to normal, right now? It is essential to first get your pregnancy confirmed by a doctor before jumping to conclusions. Why endure an abortion if you aren't pregnant? If your pregnancy is already confirmed by a doctor, then the next step is getting an ultrasound. Since 10-25% of pregnancies result in a miscarriage (https://americanpregnancy.org/healthy-pregnancy/pregnancy-complications/signs-of-miscarriage-916/), you will want to find out from an ultrasound if your baby is no longer alive & you will miscarry anyway. An ultrasound also lets you know how far along you are in your pregnancy & can help determine what abortion procedure you might choose. Contact your local Pregnancy Resource Center (PRC), such as Family Life Center. They provide FREE pregnancy testing & ultrasounds. The first step is contacting us through our phone: 217-342-5433, email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., or website: chat.

      Have you thought about what type of abortion you want to have? There are medical & surgical abortions. As mentioned above, depending on how far along you are in pregnancy will determine which one you will receive. Family Life Center, or your local PRC, can provide more education on both medical & surgical abortion procedures & risks to your health. We can also give you a list of questions to ask your abortion provider to ensure that your personal health & safety are respected. There is a nurse you can speak with who can answer medical questions you may have.

     Receiving an accurate pregnancy test & obstetric ultrasound are very important to determine if the abortion is necessary & to help you make an informed decision.
