Finding out you’re pregnant while you’re still in high school can be a tremendous shock. You may be wondering how this will affect graduation, friendships, extracurricular activities, or future plans. It’s normal to have a lot of questions, especially if the pregnancy was unexpected.

You don’t have to have everything figured out immediately, but gathering information and learning about available support can provide some reassurance. 1st Choice for Women provides free pregnancy services to help you get there.

Start with Accurate Information

Before making any decisions, it’s important to confirm your pregnancy and get a clearer picture of your next steps.

An ultrasound can provide important information, including how far along you are, whether the pregnancy is developing and has a heartbeat, and where the pregnancy is located. Having accurate medical information can help you make informed decisions as you consider your options.

We may be able to offer an ultrasound if your pregnancy test with us is positive. You’ll get your questions answered and feel more confident in deciding your next steps.

Pregnancy Doesn’t Mean Your Education Has to End

One of the biggest fears many students have is whether they’ll be able to stay in school.

If your school receives federal funding, Title IX protects pregnant and parenting students from discrimination. Depending on your situation, you may qualify for reasonable accommodations, medically necessary excused absences, opportunities to make up missed work, and the ability to continue participating in school programs.

If you’re unsure how to begin those conversations with school staff, know that support is available. We can help you identify who to speak to and even prepare for these discussions. 

You Don’t Have to Do This by Yourself

An unexpected pregnancy can feel isolating, but you don’t have to figure this out by yourself.

As you begin telling trusted people in your life, you may discover support in places you didn’t expect. Parents, relatives, teachers, coaches, mentors, or youth leaders may bring encouragement as you navigate this time.

At 1st Choice for Women, we also offer free parenting classes, material resources, and community referrals to help you prepare if you choose to parent. Our goal is to connect you with resources that help you feel supported both during pregnancy and beyond.

We’re Here for You

Being pregnant in high school may not have been something you were expecting, but support is available. Our caring team is here to answer your questions, discuss your options, and more, all in a completely confidential environment.
