Finding out you’re pregnant while you’re between jobs can bring several concerns at once. Questions about healthcare, finances, and what comes next may suddenly feel much more immediate. If financial uncertainty is affecting how you’re thinking about your pregnancy options, take time to gather information before making a decision based on circumstances that may change.

Women’s Clinic provides free, confidential services, so cost does not have to prevent you from learning more about your pregnancy and health.

Contact us to schedule an appointment. Same-day appointments may also be available.

Start With Your Pregnancy

Before looking months ahead, start with what you can learn about your pregnancy now.

If you are considering abortion or are unsure what you will do, ask whether a viability ultrasound could be right for you. A viability ultrasound can provide information, including how far along you are and whether the pregnancy is located inside the uterus.

Pregnancy location matters because an ectopic pregnancy develops outside the uterus, requires prompt medical treatment, and cannot be ended by abortion drugs.

Women’s Clinic also offers a Pre-Abortion Consultation, where you can ask questions about abortion, its potential risks, and your pregnancy before moving forward.

What If You’re Worried About Healthcare Costs?

If losing your job also meant losing health insurance, find out what coverage may be available before assuming healthcare during pregnancy is financially out of reach.

Women’s Clinic does not require insurance or payment for services. For ongoing healthcare, Medicaid may provide pregnancy-related coverage based on your household size, income, and state requirements. 

WIC also provides nutrition assistance, breastfeeding support, and healthcare referrals for eligible pregnant women at no cost.

That information may not resolve every financial concern, but it can help you evaluate your circumstances based on what assistance is actually available rather than what you assume you will have to manage alone.

You have more options than it may feel like right now.

Your Job Search Does Not Have to Stop

You can continue applying and interviewing while pregnant. Federal law prohibits covered employers from refusing to hire a qualified candidate because she is pregnant.

It is also worth keeping in mind that your employment situation today may look quite different in a few months. Before making a pregnancy decision based primarily on your current financial circumstances, it is worth gathering information about all of your options, including parenting, adoption, and abortion, so that whatever you decide, you are deciding with a full picture rather than from a place of urgency.

Your Next Step

Wherever you are in this process, you do not have to wait until your circumstances feel more stable to get answers. Women’s Clinic offers confidential appointments with no insurance required, so you can start with what you need to know today.

You do not have to have everything figured out before you reach out. Contact Women’s Clinic and let us help you find your footing.
