Ali* and her boyfriend Justin* had discussed in the past that if she were ever to get pregnant, they would get an abortion. However, although this pregnancy was unplanned, Ali started to notice a growing attachment toward the baby—her baby—even at this early stage.

Lucy* came to her first appointment at Thrive with tears in her eyes. This pregnancy came as a surprise and felt impossible to her for many reasons.

Emily* came to Thrive Medical Clinic completely overwhelmed, with a child in her arms and another on the way. She also carried a heavy burden of hurt and distrust from a painful past relationship, and it was taking a toll on her current one…

Karli* first came to us seeking information on abortion to gain a better understanding of her options. When she saw her active, beautifully developed 13-week baby on the ultrasound screen and heard the precious heart beating, she smiled and said, “I think it’s a girl.”

Katelyn* came to Traverse City with her child and no support or family in the area. After she became pregnant again, she made several abortion appointments, but each time something kept her from going through with it.

Ava* reached out to us after getting multiple positive pregnancy tests at home. She called saying, “I thought I knew what I wanted to do, but now I’m not sure.”
