Unexpected Pregnancy
Support in Raleigh
Raleigh is the state capital and the City of Oaks, a place where government offices, campuses and quiet neighborhoods all overlap. In a city like that, you can still keep this to yourself. Free, confidential support serves Raleigh and the rest of Wake County.
You’re Allowed to Not Have a Plan
Maybe you’re an NC State student halfway through midterms. Maybe you work for the state and spent the afternoon distracted at your desk. Maybe you have little ones at home and the news landed on top of everything else. Wherever you are, this is a lot to absorb. It’s okay to sit with it for a bit.
Some women want to talk it through immediately; others need a walk through Pullen Park or a night’s sleep first. Both are reasonable. What matters is that when you’re ready, you have accurate information instead of rumors or worst-case guesses. Your pace is the right pace.
A Raleigh-area pregnancy center can offer exactly that: free testing, an ultrasound when it’s needed and a clear explanation of each option. Nobody will push you, nothing costs a dime and the next step belongs to you. You can come with a friend, a partner or no one at all.
We’ve got you.

The Abortion Pill: What to Know in Raleigh
If this is what you’re weighing, here’s the part that matters most before anything else.
Two medications, one after the other
Mifepristone comes first, misoprostol follows a day or two later. Only approved up through 10 weeks of pregnancy.
The ultrasound comes before anything else
Mifepristone can’t end an ectopic pregnancy, and its side effects can mimic ectopic symptoms. An ultrasound first tells you exactly where things stand and whether the pregnancy is viable.
Had Second Thoughts After the First Pill?
If mifepristone is the only medication you’ve taken, reversal with natural progesterone might still be possible. Nothing is guaranteed, and the window is short — call as soon as you can.
After taking the first pill, you may have up to 72 hours to begin the reversal process.
