If you just found out you might be pregnant, and you are scared, you are not the first woman to feel this way. You do not have to decide anything today. Here are five steps to take first.

Step 1: Take a Breath and Give Yourself Time

Fear makes everything feel urgent. Most of what you need to know can be learned in a few days, and none of it requires you to decide this minute.

Step 2: Confirm the Pregnancy

A home test can be wrong, especially if it was taken too early. A free lab-quality pregnancy test at Choices Women’s Clinic gives you a clear result, and our clinics in Orlando, Oviedo, and Kissimmee offer same-day testing.

Step 3: Find Out How Far Along You Are

This is the fact most women are missing. A calendar guess is not reliable, and gestational age affects what the law allows in Florida. You may be eligible for a free limited obstetric ultrasound that measures it.

Step 4: Tell One Safe Person

You do not have to tell everyone. Pick one person you trust. Your appointment is confidential, and you are welcome to bring someone with you.

Step 5: Learn What Help Exists

If the fear is about money, housing, school, or a person who will not support you, ask about those first. A Choices Women’s Clinic social worker can help you look at programs you may qualify for, including Medicaid, SNAP, and housing assistance.
