Thinking About Parenting? You’re Not Alone

If you’re facing an unexpected pregnancy, the idea of parenting might bring up a wide range of emotions, like confusion, anxiety, uncertainty, or even hope.

It’s natural to feel unsure when imagining what your future might look like. Sometimes, our views on parenting are shaped by how we were raised or what we’ve observed in others.

At the Women’s Resource Center, we want you to know you’re not alone. We’re here to offer a compassionate, no-cost space where you can explore what parenting could look like and learn about resources supporting your journey.

Could Parenting Be the Right Path for You?

Choosing to parent is a life-changing decision, and it’s okay if you don’t feel completely ready. With the proper support, encouragement, and guidance, you can grow into the role of a parent, even if it feels overwhelming now.

To help you begin the process, here are a few critical questions to consider:

• What changes would I need to make to raise a child?
• Do I have a safe and stable environment to bring a baby into?
• Who can I count on for emotional and practical support?
• How can I prepare financially and emotionally for parenthood?

You may not have all the answers right away—and that’s perfectly okay. Talking through these questions with someone who listens without judgment can help you make a more informed decision.

You Don’t Have to Do This Alone

Parenting can be incredibly rewarding but requires patience, planning, and support. At Women’s Resource Center, we understand the challenges new and expecting parents face. That’s why we offer a range of no-cost parenting support services, including:
