Finals, coursework, the holidays, and now, an unplanned pregnancy. That’s a lot for anyone to handle at once, and it’s completely normal to feel overwhelmed, anxious, or uncertain about what comes next. The first step is finding a safe, confidential space where you can talk through your feelings, explore your options, and gain clarity without pressure.
Pee Dee PRC offers guidance in a supportive, judgment-free environment. Our caring team is ready to help you navigate this season. Schedule a no-cost appointment today to learn more.
Protecting Your Education: Know Your Rights
Being pregnant doesn’t mean your education has to stop. Title IX is a federal law that protects students from discrimination due to pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions. Schools cannot treat you unfairly, deny you access to classes or extracurricular activities, or penalize medically necessary absences.
Your rights include:
- Receive excused absences for appointments, childbirth, and recovery
- Have an equal opportunity to make up missed work
- Not to be excluded from classes or activities
- Request reasonable adjustments when needed
If accommodations are denied, your school’s Title IX Coordinator can help.
Access Trusted Information
When stress is high, accurate information matters. Pee Dee PRC provides compassionate support and help connecting you with further resources, if needed, so you can make decisions from a place of clarity.
You’ll have a safe space to ask questions and explore your options, including parenting and adoption.
Even with finals and the holidays piling on the stress, you don’t have to feel rushed. We can provide you with the guidance you need to clearly see your options and make informed decisions about your health, education, and future, at your own pace.
Looking Ahead with Confidence
The weeks ahead may feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face them alone. Taking things one step at a time, staying organized, and reaching out for support can make a real difference. Help is available, from academic accommodations to pregnancy services, and you deserve that support.
If you’re pregnant and trying to balance school, exams, or holiday obligations, Pee Dee PRC is here for you. Our team is ready to listen, offer assistance, and help you plan your next steps with compassion and discretion. Schedule a confidential appointment at a time that works for you.
Sometimes, one conversation can help you gain clarity, feel more in control, and move forward with confidence.
