If you’re facing an unplanned pregnancy, you may feel pressure to keep it a secret. Sometimes, embarrassment or fear of what others will think can lead women to consider abortion as a way to hide their pregnancy. But abortion is a serious medical decision that comes with risks, and you deserve to know all the facts before moving forward.
At Compass Women’s Clinic, located in Athens, Georgia, we provide free and confidential services so you can explore every option—abortion, adoption, and parenting—in a safe, judgment-free space. How to handle your unplanned pregnancy is your decision, and you deserve to make it with accurate information and the right support.
What to Know if You’re Considering Abortion
Abortion should never be a choice made out of fear, shame, or outside pressure. If you feel rushed or pushed toward a decision you’re unsure about, remember that coercion is never okay.
Both medical abortion (using drugs) and surgical abortion come with potential physical and emotional effects. Medical abortion causes abdominal cramping and vaginal bleeding, sometimes heavier than expected. Risks may include severe bleeding, infection, and incomplete abortion requiring further medical care.
When you feel like you have to hide your pregnancy, you will likely feel like your emotions and questions need to remain hidden, too, making it difficult to get the information and help you need. Talking with a trained advocate and getting a limited ultrasound can help you understand your pregnancy and your options more clearly.
