An unexpected pregnancy brings a flood of emotions—fear, confusion, even moments of hope. Whatever you’re feeling is valid. Give yourself permission to process without pressure or guilt. You don’t have to figure everything out today.

3. Confirm Your Pregnancy With a Free Medical Appointment
The first step in making informed decisions is confirming your pregnancy. PSS provides free pregnancy tests and limited obstetric ultrasounds to verify how far along you are and assess key medical details. Knowing these facts can help you determine your next steps with confidence.
4. Learn About Your Options
You may feel pressure from different directions—your own fears, your partner’s opinion, or outside voices. At PSS, we believe in empowering you with truthful, clear information about all your options, so you can make a decision that aligns with your own goals and hopes for the future. We’re here to provide real support.
5. Get Practical Help—You Don’t Have to Do This Alone
