Should I Parent?

That is something you may be asking yourself. Parenting can be a daunting task even for someone who has planned their pregnancy. Deciding what to do is a life-altering decision. To help make your decision, think about your values and try to align the decision with your values. Woodbury Options for Women is here to walk with you and help you weigh your options.

THE PROS.

Parenting can be one of the most rewarding things you will ever do. It can change you for the better.

“There is so much risk in being a parent, creating another human being, and essentially seeing a part of yourself outside of yourself. That vulnerability is undeniable. But so is the love.” - Michele Zip

THE CONS.

If you are emotionally, financially, or physically unprepared to care for and raise a child, parenting might be more difficult. Your life will definitely change if you decide to parent. But, for most people, that change is a great thing.
