What If I Choose to Parent? Am I Ready?

A real-talk guide to parenting when the pregnancy test says “yes.”

Facing an unexpected pregnancy? If you’re considering parenting, here’s what to know — plus free support, baby supplies, classes, and mentorship from Ava Women’s Center.

Is Parenting Right for You?

Your heart is racing. Your mind won’t stop spinning. Maybe this wasn’t in the plan. Maybe it came too soon. Maybe you are ashamed or want to keep it a secret. Maybe you’re scared, feeling alone, or already overwhelmed by symptoms.

Or maybe… you’re picturing a tiny face and quietly wondering:

  1. HOW Would I even do this?
  2. Could I actually do this?

Pause for a second…Take a deep breath. You’re not alone. You’re not the first to feel this way. And you don’t need to have it all figured out today. At Ava Women’s Center, we can help. We have resources to assist you in navigating these tough decisions.

Baby Supplies

We help with the basics — like diapers, wipes, formula, baby clothes, and more. We believe no mom should have to choose between feeding her baby and feeding herself.

Parenting & Life Classes

Real-life learning on topics like pregnancy, childbirth, baby care, budgeting, and emotional health —all taught in a down-to-earth, approachable way. No lectures. Just real info and support.

One-on-One Mentorship

You’ll be paired with someone who listens, encourages, and checks in on you. Someone to talk to when things get hard or confusing — because they will. And that’s okay.

Practical Assistance

Whether it’s referrals to housing help, job programs, or emotional support services, we’ll help you get connected. You don’t have to figure it all out alone. There is help for you

Parenting Might Feel Big — Because It Is

You Don’t Have to Do This Alone

At Ava Women’s Center, we walk with women who choose to parent every day. Some are single. Some are in school. Some work full-time. Some have no support system at all. But you know what they all have in common? They chose to love their baby — even when things felt uncertain, and even if they initially considered other pregnancy options like ending the pregnancy.

First Step? A Free Ultrasound

Before anything else, it helps to know what’s going on in your body. We offer free ultrasounds in a safe, welcoming environment.
Ultrasounds can confirm:

  • How far along you are
  • Whether the pregnancy is viable (still developing normally)
  • If it’s a single or multiple pregnancy

No pressure. No judgment. Just clear answers.

You’re Seen. You’re Loved. No Judgment Here.

We know that every woman’s story is different. Some pregnancies feel like miracles. Some feel like crises. Some feel like both.
Whatever your story looks like — you are welcome here.
At Ava Women’s Center, we treat every person with kindness and respect.

You won’t get shame or pressure. We promise:

  • Space to process
  • Support to move forward
  • Encouragement to grow into who you’re meant to be — as a woman, and possibly as a mom
