Parenting Considerations
If you decide to continue your pregnancy and raise your child, you will become a parent. How do you feel about that? Are you excited, overwhelmed, or nervous?
It’s natural to feel all of those emotions when considering parenting, especially when this is your first pregnancy. Many unknowns and fears can surface during this time.
However, rest assured that if your heart is set on parenting, organizations and resources are ready to help make it possible for you. Keep reading to learn more.
Could I Really Be a Parent?
You may be in school, starting a demanding career, or lacking support. Any of these situations can make parenting feel like it will be too much.
Remember that your situation can change as you graduate school, start a new job, or find support from organizations or new friends.
Don’t let your situation make your decision for you. Think both short-term and long-term.
What might your life be like if you chose parenting, not only in the first year but also five, ten, and fifteen years from now? You won’t know for sure, but you will be able to consider if you want a child to be a part of your story.
