Finding Help and Hope in Your Pregnancy Journey
Whether you find yourself facing an unplanned pregnancy or overwhelmed with your newborn, you can feel very stressed and experience a flood of emotions. You may feel alone, scared, and not sure what to do next. We want you to know we’re here for you, to show you the help available to you, and to give you hope for your future. You have an entire community right here in Iowa of compassionate people who care about your well-being and want to help you make the decisions that are right for you, and your preborn baby or newborn.
Even though this baby may be or have been unplanned, it doesn’t mean you don’t deserve love, respect, and the opportunity to make the choices you feel are best for yourself and your baby.
Your pregnancy story is as unique as you are and we want to show you that you have what it takes for this journey! We can’t guarantee an easy path but we can help you find supporters to walk alongside you. We offer resources and support from caring individuals, some of whom have been there themselves. Explore all the options available to you in Iowa that can lead to a positive future for you and your baby.
