I’ve Already Had an Abortion and Don’t Want Another One. What Are My Options?
If you had an abortion with a previous pregnancy, and now you think you might be pregnant again, you may be considering a different choice this time.
What are the options available to you with this pregnancy?
First of all, do you know for sure that you are pregnant? At Options For Her, our experienced medical team can provide you with a pregnancy test and ultrasound at no cost.
Once you know you are pregnant, we can help you explore the other options available to you: adoption and parenting.
Adoption
If the time or your circumstances do not seem right for you to raise a child, adoption is an available option. Adoption requires carrying your pregnancy to term and then transferring parental rights to the adoptive parents.
Modern-day adoptions allow women more control. Birth mothers can now make an adoption plan, set the terms, and select the adoptive family.
You can also choose your desired level of contact: direct contact, contact through an intermediary, or no contact. However, the level of contact, such as direct contact in an open adoption plan, is not legally enforceable in New Jersey.
When considering adoption, think about whether you would be comfortable with another couple raising your child and how it might make you feel. Adoption can be an emotional decision.
Our team of navigators can help you explore this option and connect you with a reputable agency to answer your questions.
Parenting
Your other option is to parent your child. Parenting requires a commitment to raising a child and providing for their needs. If you would like to choose parenting but find it challenging, help and resources are available.
At Options For Her, we offer classes to assist women with preparing for labor and delivery, feeding, basic parenting skills, and more. We can also provide valuable support services and community resources to meet your practical needs.
Options For Her also offers one-on-one mentoring for men. We care about you and your partner and can help you prepare for parenting with confidence.
Explore Your Options
At Options For Her, we want you to feel empowered and informed, no matter your choice. We are here to provide the medical and practical information you need for your pregnancy and beyond.

Pregnancy Testing
If you suspect you may be pregnant, you should speak with a trusted medical provider or pregnancy clinic. By discussing the best time to test and confirming your results with a quality pregnancy test and ultrasound, you can be sure of the results and begin planning your next step.
Ultrasound
Ultrasounds use high-frequency sound waves to receive information that can be seen as an image on a screen. Determine what choices you have with an ultrasound. An ultrasound will alert you of any possible complications. It is an important step of the pregnancy confirmation process, as it confirms three different aspects of your pregnancy.
