The holiday season is meant to be joyful—but when you’re facing an unexpected pregnancy, the celebrations around you may feel overwhelming. Lights are twinkling, people are making memories, and yet you might be carrying a secret that feels too heavy to share.

You don’t have to walk through this by yourself.
The SHARE Center is here to offer compassionate, confidential support—right when you need it most.
Why an Unexpected Pregnancy Feels Harder During the Holidays
Even in the best circumstances, the holidays bring emotional, financial, and family pressures. But when you’re dealing with a positive pregnancy test and unsure of what to do next, the stress can multiply.
Many women tell us they struggle with:
• Fear about how their family will react
• Feeling like they have to “pretend” everything is normal
• Worrying about finances, relationships, or school/work
• Feeling isolated in a season that’s supposed to be joyful
• The pressure to make a quick decision
These feelings are normal—and completely understandable. You deserve a calm, safe place to breathe and gather the facts you need.
You Don’t Have to Make Decisions Alone
If you’re considering your options, the first step is to understand what’s happening medically.
Before making any decision—including abortion—medical professionals recommend confirming three things:
1. Is your pregnancy viable?
A pregnancy test alone can’t confirm a healthy, developing pregnancy. An ultrasound can determine whether there is a detectable heartbeat.
2. How far along are you?
Knowing gestational age matters because your options—and what’s medically appropriate—depend on how many days or weeks you are.
3. Is the pregnancy located in the uterus?
Ruling out an ectopic pregnancy is important for your safety. An ultrasound is the only way to confirm this.
The SHARE Center provides free pregnancy testing and ultrasounds so you can make informed decisions based on real information—not fear or guesswork.
Holiday Stress Can Make Everything Feel Bigger
When emotions are already high, uncertainty can take over. You might be thinking:
“I can’t handle this right now.”
“I don’t want to ruin the holidays for everyone else.”
“I’ll deal with it once January comes.”
But you don’t have to push everything down or feel guilty for needing help. You deserve support—today, right where you are.
