When 27-year-old mom Lashenae found out she was facing an unplanned pregnancy just months after giving birth to her third child, she panicked.
She already felt overwhelmed with her newborn and couldn’t imagine having another baby so close in age. She searched for a women’s clinic online, thinking abortion was her only option until her search led her to book an appointment at our partner’s clinic.
When Lashenae entered our partner’s clinic, she met her client advocate, Maria. After hearing about Lashenae’s situation, Maria took Lashenae to her first ultrasound. There, she saw her baby for the first time.
“When I saw the sonogram, I saw the little round head; that was the moment I knew. I can do this. I thought about my other children; seeing the life being created and what is happening inside of you is a different feeling. Seeing that it’s a baby made me choose life.”
Today, Lashenae is moving forward with hope and a future she couldn’t picture the day she first learned she was pregnant. Her face lights up every time she talks about her baby girl.
“I’m excited that she’s going to have a sister so close in age,” she said. “I’m excited overall for another gift.”
Because of you, women like Lashenae, facing an unplanned pregnancy, find hope instead of fear. Give today and help more moms choose life for their babies.
