The holiday season is often a time of joy, celebration, and togetherness. But if you're facing an unplanned pregnancy, the holidays may feel overwhelming, filled with uncertainty, and perhaps even a little bit isolating.

I serve and volunteer in an area all too familiar to me from my very own childhood experience: dysfunction and abuse. I went out into the world having no genuine tools for fostering healthy relationships and unconditional love. I couldn’t trust in anything or anyone, and I wasn’t able to feel things without wanting to numb it all.

First, take a deep breath and remember … you are not alone. Not all pregnancies are planned and expected, but you still have choices that are yours to make.

After a missed period, a hormone-detecting pregnancy test can be a reliable way to determine if you are, in fact, pregnant. But common mistakes made when administering a pregnancy test can impact their accuracy. 

At Zoe, we focus on providing a culture of life that empowers and serves you, no matter where you are in your journey. In short, we’re here to meet you where you are.
