Where Do You Go For Answers When You Are Pregnant?

Posted on

Whether being pregnant was part of your plans for life, or it came as a complete surprise, the fact is, you need help. This change in your life is a big one, and it is one that you can’t face alone. There is so much information available to you through the internet and even the advice of friends. But how do you wade through all of that to find exactly what you need? Some of that information even conflicts with other information. You can’t even be sure of who to believe anymore.

What are you going to do?

First, you need to find a trusted voice. One that you can ask straightforward questions of, and get honest, complete answers. One that truly wants what is best for you. Not just what is convenient for you at the time . . . but what is best for you both now and in the future. You need someone that offers not just opinion, but along with the helpful information can also offer actual support.

Where do you find someone like that?

Allow us to step in and fill that role in your life. In fact, we’ve even made it easy for you to check out what we have to offer, without commitment . . . without having to face an awkward conversation on the phone . . . without having to leave your home. We have created an app that can be downloaded to your phone. On this app, you will find much of the helpful information that you need right now. Here, you can find information on fetal development (Want to know what’s happening in your body? A simple click can give you the valuable information you need!). Here, you can track important medical information (Need to know more about your cycle? A couple of quick questions, and you are on your way!). Here, you can even hear testimonials about how we have helped other people who were faced being pregnant – and found some actual help through us.

It’s as simple as clicking on the button below, and you will be taken directly to the iTunes stores where you can download our app.

Spring Break’s Over – Are You Left With An Unexpected Surprise?

Posted on

Spring Break – that well deserved time off from school, when the temps change and you head out for some fun!

This is pretty much the best thing to happen during the entire Spring Semester. It gives you a whole week to hang out with your friends. This is the chance to catch up with people you haven’t seen in awhile. Often, it’s the chance to spend a whole, uninterrupted week with your boyfriend (or maybe even get a new boyfriend).

And whether your boyfriend is in school with you, or he’s been away at college and is back for Spring Break, you can actually spend some quality time with him. Spring Break allows the two of you – for one week – to feel unburdened. No classes. No schedule. No homework. Just fun together. And if you had the chance to get away with him to the beach, it was a week of fun in the sun.

But now that you are back, maybe you are starting to worry that the week spent with your boyfriend was just a little too much “fun.” Maybe for the first time, you went further with him than ever before. And now, you are worried that there might be an extra “surprise” to deal with.

Pregnancy … During Spring Break, it was probably the last thing on your mind. But now you can’t stop thinking about it.
“Am I pregnant?”
“The unusual way I’m feeling these days, could that be pregnancy?”
“Is my period ever going to start?”

You are doing your best to wrap your mind around this fact . . .
You might be pregnant!

And let’s face it. Home pregnancy tests can be completely hard to rely on. Either they show such a faint line that you aren’t sure if it’s really there. Or you worry that you didn’t do it right and the results aren’t accurate.

That’s where we come in. We are Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic (formerly Advice & Aid Pregnancy Center). Our whole reason for being here is to help you figure this all out – beginning with a free pregnancy test. You won’t have to be alone. You can have someone with you when you find out for sure. This way, you can talk it through with someone who understands. We offer all kinds of services for you that will truly help you sort out your options.

And maybe the thought of picking up the phone and calling us is just too much right now. That’s ok. All you have to do is click on the button below and you can schedule an appointment through our website without having to talk to anyone today. You can choose from either Overland Park or Shawnee – a place that is close to you.

You can put the unknown behind you and
start to take control of your future right away!

Shacking. Small Word . . . Big Consequences

Posted on

Shacking. What an innocent-sounding term for something that can turn out to be anything but innocent.

If you aren’t familiar with the term “shacking,” the best way to describe it would be when two people “hook up” for a night, but one slips out, unnoticed, early the next morning. We see it portrayed in movies all the time, usually in a college atmosphere. The characters shack up for a night while drunk, and then don’t remember what happened by the next morning. Often, it’s supposed to be funny. Sounds pretty harmless, right? But what if there are long-term consequences that come from this? Suddenly, it’s not so funny OR harmless.

Obviously, pregnancy and STDs are the first of the consequences that come to mind. And while these are very real possibilities that should never be taken lightly, there is something else that needs to be considered. There is a very real – very serious – emotional aspect to shacking that someone needs to be talking about.

The honest fact is, bouncing from person to person for just a few minutes
of pleasure will eventually leave you feeling empty and meaningless.

Of course, we’re told today that women can do anything they want with their bodies. And they are right . . . we can. But just because we CAN do it doesn’t mean that it is good or that we SHOULD do it.

The point of this is not to sound judgmental, but rather to be a motivation for you. We are here to motivate you to love. No, not finding someone else to love. But rather, learning to love yourself.

Loving yourself means that you see yourself for the amazing, incredible person that God created. Having love – and respect – for yourself is something that no one else has power over. It is yours.

One college student summed up her transformation – and advice – this way:

After hitting rock bottom my freshman year of college from being involved with the partying lifestyle, I was absolutely disgusted with the person I became.

After transferring to (a different college), I decided to change my lifestyle and really fall in love with the beautiful life God had before me. Channel your energy toward your goals, education and people who want to build you up and I can guarantee you will feel so much better.

Travel the world, audition for a role in the play, join an organization or set a new goal to become the best version of you possible. Then when you are genuinely happy with who you are, someone special will come along. When you find another soul who is equally as goofy, spontaneous and challenges you to be a better version of yourself, then that is when you have got it right.

Allowing the right person to enter your own weird little world is one of the most breathtaking things anyone can have.

So girls, you want to truly be in control of your body? Realize that your body is a temple and should be treated with care and respect.

Suddenly, “shacking” doesn’t seem so glamorous after all!

Sometimes, making that decision to respect your body can be a difficult one; especially if you are making a lifestyle change. What you need is a friend to listen to your heart and help you figure out the steps you need to take to change. We can be that friend.

No judgment.
No agenda.
Just compassion and honesty.
