Since abortion ends a pregnancy, it would definitely be a way to hide it, but the bigger question is, why do you want to hide it? Are you embarrassed? Afraid? Ashamed? There is a difference between wanting to hide a pregnancy and wanting to end it.
An unplanned pregnancy can set off all those emotions: fear of rejection, guilt, and embarrassment, but that doesn’t mean you have to end it.
Come talk to our team today at Pregnancy Help Center Galveston. We can help you sort through those feelings to determine what’s best for your future. Best of all, it costs you nothing.
Why Do You Need to Hide Your Pregnancy?
We at Pregnancy Health Center Galveston care about your health and emotional well-being. If you are afraid because you are pregnant, we want you to know help is available. If someone is abusive, we encourage you to call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-SAFE (7233).
Research indicates that abuse often increases when a partner discovers a pregnancy. Don’t live in fear. Call the hotline or text one of our caring team members at (970) 707-8325 for assistance.
If you are worried about how your parents or friends will react, we can help you find various ways to tell them the news. You can also invite them to come with you when you visit.
Have You Had an Ultrasound?
You may wonder why you would need an ultrasound if you are considering abortion, but an ultrasound provides vital pregnancy information no matter what you choose. For instance, did you know experts estimate that as many as 26% of all pregnancies end in a miscarriage?
It is possible to get a positive pregnancy test after a miscarriage because it takes your body time to return to pre-pregnancy hormone levels. Only an ultrasound can detect whether your pregnancy is developing or if you have miscarried.
If you are considering the abortion pill method, you want to have an ultrasound first. The FDA approves the use of abortion drugs through 10 weeks of pregnancy only. Do you know how many weeks you have been pregnant? The farther along you are in your pregnancy, the less effective the drugs are.
Finally, an ultrasound determines the location of your pregnancy. Although rare, some pregnancies implant and develop outside the uterus. This is known as an ectopic pregnancy and can be very dangerous.
