At the best of times, pregnancy is a journey filled with anticipation, excitement, and sometimes unexpected challenges. For women navigating pregnancy without the support of a partner, those challenges can feel daunting. But at Open Arms Real Choices Clinic, we want to assure you that you are not alone in this unfamiliar terrain. We’re here to provide the support, resources, and guidance you need to handle pregnancy with confidence and assurance.
Understanding Your Journey
Whether you’re facing pregnancy as a single mother by your own choice or unforeseen circumstances have led you down this path unexpectedly, you can find strength in honestly acknowledging the range of emotions you may be experiencing. From joy and excitement to uncertainty, fear, or anger, your feelings are natural, and it’s okay to seek support as you sail the ups and downs of these uncharted waters. Our lives rarely take the simple route that we planned out for ourselves when we were young; there are bends and detours on the road, and it’s easy to find ourselves lost without a map. It’s our goal to help you find a new way forward, knowing that this path you never expected to take will nevertheless be marked by stunning views and unique experiences you can’t yet imagine.

Planning for the future of you and your child without the presence of a partner may present challenges, but it’s important to remember that resources are available to support you.

Building Your Support Network
While you may be navigating pregnancy without the support of a partner, it’s essential to build a strong support network of family, friends, and professionals who can offer assistance and encouragement along the way. Whether attending prenatal appointments together, helping with household tasks, or simply providing a listening ear, a supportive network can be a huge blessing during pregnancy and beyond. You may be lucky enough to have family members in your corner, but if you don’t, don’t despair. You can meet other single mothers through our groups and classes, find multi-generational support at church, and make friends at community events geared toward children and parents. Fill your life with people who encourage you and build you up by being a person who encourages others and builds them up. Before you know it, you’ll have built a network of support that is a source of friendship and aid for every person in it.
