Your unplanned pregnancy might have you afraid and unprepared with the necessary information you need to make an informed decision. Many women do not have the proper information when they are dealing with an unplanned pregnancy. As a result, they start considering abortion as an option
According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), if your home pregnancy test shows positive results, you should see a health care provider to confirm the result. For instance, a health care provider can help you determine how far along you are based on your last menstrual period.
Limited obstetrical ultrasounds done by licensed health care professionals can determine gestational age, intrauterine pregnancy, and fetal heart rate. Gestational age determines how many weeks pregnant you are and what your estimated due date is. Above all, a licensed medical professional will check for intrauterine pregnancy, which determines that the pregnancy is occurring in your uterus (ectopic pregnancy). Ectopic pregnancy (extrauterine pregnancy) is a life-threatening condition and you should be seen by a doctor right away. For instance, the lack of a fetal heart rate means you are experiencing pregnancy loss. Early pregnancy loss (pregnancy loss during the first 13 weeks of pregnancy or first trimester) is common and happens in about 10% of known pregnancies. Miscarriage or spontaneous abortion is a form of early pregnancy loss. If your pregnancy is not viable, you will not need to have an abortion.
When you are pregnant, STD/STI testing is important because chlamydia, gonorrhea and genital herpes (to name a few) are infections spread by sexual contact. If STD/STI’s are left untreated prior to abortion you can be at risk to further spread bacteria into your reproductive tract anytime the normal barrier created by the cervix is disturbed. Some STDs/STI’s are treatable while pregnant. Treating STD/STI’s before your abortion procedure will put you at less risk for complications from abortion than leaving yourself untreated.

Being a college student comes with a lot of responsibilities and can some times be stressful. What happens if in addition to college responsibilities you find out you maybe pregnant?
There are so many factors to consider. Each person’s circumstances are extremely personal to their situation. One thing every woman who is pregnant has in common is pregnancy options.
Pregnancy options are what you ultimately choose to do with your pregnancy when you are not pregnant anymore, or decide that you no longer want to be pregnant. Every pregnant woman has three pregnancy options- in alphabetical order- they are abortion, adoption, and parenting.
Abortion- abortion is an option to end the pregnancy. You can have a medical abortion or a surgical abortion.
Adoption- Placing for adoption means that the baby will be born, but it will not be raised by its biological parents. You can have an open adoption, a semi-open adoption, or closed adoption.
Parenting- Parenting means that the baby will be born, and the biological parents will also raise the child.
While these options may seem simple, they are complex and oftentimes emotionally difficult.
If you have additional questions about your options, we encourage you to explore the “Options Education” tab on our website or call us to make an appointment to discuss your options. At Pathway Health Clinic, we have Advocates and Licensed Medical Professionals who can help you explore all of your options in a safe, confidential, judgment-free way.

Upon joining a branch of service or marrying into the military, moving away from all your friends and family is always a huge adjustment. So, what happens when you or someone close to you think you may be pregnant?
One of the first things we do when we are faced with any situation is we turn to the internet to research what to do next. The internet can provide us with a ton of helpful information. In contrast, it can also lead us to read into the pregnancy myths of the dark web. It can also cause unnecessary anxiety in our thoughts.
So what are the most common pregnancy myths related the military?
Myth 1: Military life is incompatible with having a family: This is a false statement. The military is a very family-oriented organization. From battalion family fun days to community housing events; the military focuses on the families of those who serve. According to the Department of Defense, 52% of the military is made up of families, married or single and raising children. This is 4 % higher than the national average 48%.
Myth 2: You get penalized if you get pregnant: This statement is false. Just like if you were working in the civilian workplace, their are certain rules to follow in the workplace to maintain a safe and healthy pregnancy. The military puts you on light duty after you reach a certain point in your pregnancy. The military has amazing groups such as Baby Boot Camp, through the Navy Relief Society that helps parents budget for baby, learn basic child safety and are given a basket full of newborn goodies. Your command will usually allow you or your spouse to take time off of work to attend these life skill classes.
Myth 3: Once I have my baby I have to return right back to Active Duty! This statement is false. According to the Department of Defense, military women have better maternity leave options than civilian working moms. The DOD policy is the military women get 12 weeks of paid maternity leave. However, each branch of service has additional leave which can be up to 20 weeks of paid leave. The civilian law (Family Medical Leave Act) provides for up to 12 weeks for employers to allow their female employees during pregnancy.
Myth 4: My spouse will not receive paternity leave. This statement is also false. Married fathers on active duty can get up to 10 days of paternity leave. They must be taken within 60 days of the child’s birth.

Joining a branch in the United States Military is very rewarding. Especially when you are straight out of high school and experiencing being on your own for the first time. Once you have completed the training required you have the privilege to become apart of a family. That family will last a lifetime. During your time on active duty, you will be apart of your family members lives. Which include weddings, promotions, and celebrating births within your family. So, what happens when you or someone close to you think you may be having a military pregnancy?
According to a military blog, women in the military still report higher rates of unplanned pregnancy than their civilian peers. Is this a bad thing? Not at all, it just means we need to educate ourselves on being pregnant in the military. According to Ibis Reproductive Health’s analysis of Department of Defense data, about 11 percent of active-duty military women reported an unintended pregnancy in 2008 and 7 percent reported an unintended pregnancy in 2011—in both years, this was far more than the general population.
One of the biggest fears for military women is exposing this unplanned pregnancy to their chain of command and risk being non-deployable or non-promotable. In these cases, there are community resources outside Camp Pendleton. They can help provide no-cost pregnancy testing and are 100% confidential. At Pathway Health Clinic, we respect your privacy and do not report your visit to command or Tricare unless you have provided us with written consent and authorization. All our Advocates and Licensed Medical Professionals can help you explore all your options in a safe, confidential, judgment-free way.
