If you are facing an unexpected pregnancy, you might be carrying an incredibly heavy, complicated mix of emotions right now. When fear and pressure take over, it can be hard to even hear your own thoughts. Please know that it is entirely okay to take a breath, slow down and find a safe, confidential space where you can explore your choices on your own terms.
Where Can I Find Help If I Am Considering An Abortion?
If you are weighing your pregnancy options, finding an unbiased, confidential support center is an important first step. TLC of Hastings provides cost-free medical verification and non-judgmental advising, giving you the accurate data and personal support you need to make your own informed choice.
Your First Step: Confirming the Facts Before Deciding
When your mind is racing with choices, gathering clear medical facts gives you a solid foundation to move forward. Before making any final commitments, it is important to confirm the actual status of your pregnancy through a professional evaluation. This involves verifying your pregnancy through free, lab-quality pregnancy testing and a limited obstetric ultrasound to determine how far along you are.
A Safe Space to Process Your Thoughts
It can feel like everyone around you has an opinion on what you should do next. At TLC of Hastings, we believe you deserve a quiet, private environment to sort through your emotions. Our advocates provide a calm, reassuring presence, walking through the details of abortion procedures, parenting resources and adoption plans so you can look at the complete picture without pressure.
Connecting You to Local Support and Resources
Sometimes, the fear of missing resources or parenting in isolation is what makes an unexpected choice feel so limiting. If you choose to explore parenting or placement, our community has built an incredible network of support to ensure you are never left hanging. From material assistance through our baby boutique to one-on-one mentorship, we connect you with local Dakota County resources for housing, medical care, and food assistance.
