What to Do When You Have an Unplanned Pregnancy
If you’re facing an unplanned pregnancy, you may feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or even afraid—but you’re not alone. Many have walked this road before you, and at Open Arms Real Choices Clinic, we’re here to walk it with you.
We provide free, confidential services to support your physical, emotional, and mental well-being—offering care and clarity during a time that can feel anything but certain.
Where Do I Start?
The first step is to confirm your pregnancy with a lab-quality pregnancy test administered by a medical professional. At Open Arms, our licensed medical staff will guide you through this process and help you take the next step—a limited obstetric ultrasound, if medically appropriate.
An ultrasound:
-
Confirms pregnancy viability
-
Confirms the location of the pregnancy (to rule out ectopic pregnancy)
-
Provides accurate dating (how far along you are)
Knowing your gestational age is essential in understanding your options. Ultrasound is the only way to accurately determine this and assess early pregnancy health.
At Open Arms Real Choices Clinic in Hayden, we offer this service—and all others—at no cost to you.
Who Is Open Arms?
Open Arms is a nonprofit, non-denominational, and non-political clinic. We do not profit from your decision. Our mission is simple:
To provide accurate medical information, compassionate support, and practical resources—so you can make informed decisions with confidence and peace of mind.
Talk with Someone You Trust
Once your pregnancy is confirmed, we encourage you to share the news with someone you trust—a parent, friend, mentor, or our trained advocate mentors.
At Open Arms, you’ll never be judged or pressured.
Instead, you’ll be met with:
-
Compassionate, confidential care
-
Evidence-based education about parenting, adoption, and abortion
-
A safe space to ask questions and process your emotions
You have the right to know the facts, risks, and benefits of every option available to you.
If you don’t have a support system in place, we’re here to walk alongside you. You are not alone.
Let Yourself Feel What You’re Feeling
An unplanned pregnancy can stir up many emotions—fear, anger, anxiety, sadness, confusion, and even moments of joy. It’s okay to feel all of that.
We’re here to support your emotional and mental well-being just as much as your physical health.
You don’t need to have it all figured out today.
You just need to take the next step—and we’re here to take it with you.
