Parenting
Being a successful parent is possible.
What About Parenting?
There’s no greater reward and no bigger challenge than being a parent. At Life’s Choices Women’s Clinic, our advocates can help you explore what pregnancy and parenting would look like.
We’ll show you the many resources available and assist you in overcoming the specific challenges you may face.
Ask Yourself These Questions
These may feel like impossible questions, but each one has an answer.
- What if my partner doesn’t want the baby, but I do?
- What do I tell my family?
- How will I finish school?
- Can I continue working?
- Where will I live?
- How do I pay for medical bills?
- Can I afford a child?
We can talk through these questions and find a solution.
What Type Of Assistance Is Available?
Strive to Thrive
We offer no-cost parenting classes. Every expecting mom and dad can attend our Strive To Thrive classes. This program provides basic fundamentals of pregnancy, childbirth, child development, parenting skills, and more.
In addition, for every class you complete, you receive points toward “purchasing” items from our baby boutique. Get baby clothes, diapers, wipes, formula, and other baby necessities.
Community Resources
We understand you need more parenting resources than what we have to offer. We work with other local organizations to provide you with the assistance and financial resources to guide you into a stable future.
We can connect you with local agencies that can also assist you with any medical or housing needs.

Pregnancy Tests
If you have had unprotected sex or missed your period, you might wonder if you are pregnant. The first thing you should do is take a pregnancy test. We offer lab-quality pregnancy testing at no cost.
Ultrasounds
If you are pregnant, an ultrasound will help determine how far along you are, if the pregnancy is viable (growing), and if it’s located in the correct place. We offer limited obstetric ultrasounds at no cost.
STD Testing
When a person engages in sex or sex-like activity, there’s a chance of contracting an STD. Most people with an STD don’t have immediate symptoms. Regular testing helps prevent later physical risks. We offer no-cost and confidential STD testing to women and men.
