Your Second-Trimester Pregnancy Options in Baldwin County
Abortion in Alabama
If you are early in your second trimester of pregnancy, you may have the option of surgical abortion after a state-mandated waiting period. Before having an abortion, you’ll need to have an ultrasound to confirm viability and how far along you are. You may also want to consider STD testing and treatment before an abortion to avoid a possible increased risk of PID.
How We Can Help
Our medical team can provide a pre-abortion screening (including an ultrasound, STD testing, and STD treatment) at no charge. We can also answer questions about abortion procedures or side effects.
Adoption Plans
You can make an adoption plan at any point during pregnancy. When a birth parent makes an adoption plan, she can choose an adoptive family for her child and decide on the level of contact she would like to have in the future.
How We Can Help
Our team can talk with you about the adoption process and walk along in your decision-making journey. If it’s an option you’d like to explore, we can help connect you to a reputable adoption specialist that best meets your needs.
Parenting
You may be trying to figure out if you’re ready to become a parent right now, either again or for the first time. It’s important to be honest with yourself about the questions you have. It may also help to realize that all parents have fears and doubts, no matter where they are in life.
How We Can Help
If you’re considering the option of parenting, our consultants can help you process your questions and concerns. We can also provide information about parenting resources, material assistance, and other support that is available locally.
Navigating What’s Next
What you’re going through isn’t easy. That’s why we are here to support you in navigating your second-trimester pregnancy questions.
