Becca’s Story

Becca* was just a few months postpartum when she found out she was pregnant again. She was facing pressure to abort from friends, financial burdens, fear of judgment and the daunting weight of being the sole provider for two babies. She felt completely alone. Even though it broke her heart, she felt like abortion was her only option.

She came to Thrive Medical Clinic to confirm her pregnancy, and the ultrasound was a transformative moment. She came in with the mindset that if the fetus looked like a small unidentifiable blob, she would move forward with the abortion. But as she stared at her tiny baby and its healthy heart beating, her eyes and heart opened, and she decided to parent her child!

She grew a support system around her. With Thrive, her family, and a friend providing tangible support and encouragement, Becca believed she really could be a great mother to two-under-two! Her walk is certainly not easy, but she chose hope amidst the obstacles and received with open hands the support she needed in order to thrive as a young mom of two.
