An unexpected pregnancy can feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone and you don’t have to face your next steps alone either. The team at Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic has been providing expert pregnancy support to women from all walks of life for over forty years. Our team knows and understands the questions and fears which often arise with an unplanned pregnancy and are ready with professional care and a steady presence to help you.

In this post, we sit down with Naomi, a female client advocate, to give you an inside look at the compassionate care waiting for you at Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic.

Seeing Past the Panic

“When women first come to us, they often feel like they don’t have any options,” says Naomi. “They feel as if they no longer can pursue their dreams or goals. They don’t realize that there’s hope and help available to them and that places like us exist.”

A flood of emotions often surrounds the news of being pregnant—whether overwhelming excitement or fear of the unknown. But when the news comes unexpectedly at a time of financial and emotional stress in a woman’s life, it can be especially difficult to see with clarity into the future.

Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic believes that when a woman is given support through a safe space to breathe and access to information about her options, she is empowered to take her next steps with confidence. From the moment she walks into the Clinic, we want her to feel welcome and safe.

“You don’t need to rush into a decision,” says Naomi. “No matter what you decide, you don’t have to face this alone. If you’ll allow us, we’d love to come alongside you and figure this out together.”

Space to Breathe with No-Cost Services

Naomi has walked alongside clients from varying cultural backgrounds and the greatest concern across the board is financial. Clients fear how they will pay for rent, the next bill, or whether they will be able to afford another child. Financial burdens can weigh especially heavy on clients originally from other countries, as they often are providing financial support to families in their home country—on top of paying for their own living expenses.

“We offer no-cost services to all of our clients,” Naomi explains. “The last thing we want them worrying or stressing about is finances.”

An appointment at Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic can include medical-grade pregnancy testing, STI/STD testing and treatment, and an ultrasound for pregnancies that meet the criteria. In addition to an advocate, clients are also seen by nurses who interpret the tests, provide education, expert advice, and are available to answer any questions a client may have about pregnancy and her options. The cost of these services alone usually runs well over $700. By removing this financial barrier, care becomes accessible to clients who would otherwise see it as out of reach—opening the door to support they need but may have never thought possible.

Space to Breathe with Compassionate, Steady Support

“When someone cares about you, they want to put you in a position not to need them,” says Naomi. “That’s our goal: independence and confidence.”

Beyond the first appointment, some clients are eligible for Care Management, where a social worker connects them with resources to things like housing, financial aid, adoption agencies—whatever the need, there are available resources that will assist a client with their specific needs.

Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic also offers pregnancy and parenting support classes onsite for women and their partners. Baby Prep 101 classes equip new parents on what to expect while they are expecting, and long-term parenting support is available in a 2-year program called Connections, offered in both English and Spanish.

When asked what she would say to a woman who is pregnant and feeling unsure of what to do next, Naomi said, “Breathe. You have time and you have options. You’re a lot stronger and braver than you think. As impossible as it feels, you can do this.”

Space to Breathe Because We’re with You.

In removing the cost of services and offering long-term support, Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic wants women to be empowered and to help them see a future of great possibility. If you’re facing an unexpected pregnancy, you are not alone. Reach out to schedule an appointment today.

Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic is a medical facility for unexpected pregnancies. Every woman has a different story, and every single one deserves compassion, clarity, and support. Below are real  accounts of women who received services from Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic. Two Lines walks alongside women no matter where they are on their journey. By stepping into the hard moments with each of these women, Two Lines empowered each one to move forward with strength they never knew they had.

1. She thought abortion was her only option

When Jasmine first called us, she was considering an abortion. Feeling overwhelmed, alone, and unsure of her future. 

“When I called Advice and Aid, I was considering going through a abortion because I was lost, alone, and had nothing, and didn’t want my baby to come into this world struggling and I didn’t think I would be the perfect fit…..One thing I will always do is refer young women who are in my situation, looking for a friend or just someone who can have their back along their journey to Two Lines. They will give the best experience and be filled with a bunch of people who actually care about them and their baby.”

2. She had no one to turn to

One young woman came to us without the support of her family. 

“I wasn’t really having a good connection with my mom and I couldn’t tell her I was pregnant, and I needed to know if my baby was safe and okay and so I came to Advice & Aid so I could get some help. Advice & Aid really did help me and get me prepared to see how my son would be as he gets older and teach me what to do and not be so scared.”

3. She didn’t expect to become a single mom

She came to us with a partner and now she’s a single mother.

“When I first joined Advice & Aid I had a significant other. Now I’m a single mom and Advice & Aid has really been there for me, helping me and giving me advice on being a newly single mother. They help provide you with so many things you need for your baby and more.”

4. She needed to be heard

At Two Lines, we provide a safe, confidential space for women. 

“During pregnancy they were really there for me more than anyone, helping me like a therapist, just talking and building a relationship with me.”

Two Lines has a dedicated care management team ready to provide personalized support to each of our clients. They get to know the needs of each client and establish connections to community resources, education, mental health, housing, parenting support, and more.

5. A loved one told her about Two Lines

Many women find their way to us because someone they know recommends our services. 

“I found out about Advice & Aid through my sister and so I looked it up and looked more into it! The donations everyone makes and the sacrifices of coming in early/staying late… when you call or text they are there helping and guiding you if needed.”

No pregnant woman will ever pay us for the care or ongoing support we provide at Two Lines. Our clinic and the services we provide are fueled by an expansive community of generous supporters committed to loving every person who walks through our doors—our clients are more supported and loved than they know.

Unexpected Love.

Both surgical and chemical abortions can carry risks that may affect a woman’s physical health, emotional well-being, and future fertility. In response, Two Lines offers compassionate post-abortive care to support women in their healing journey, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

When you’re facing an unexpected pregnancy, the hard truth is that you can’t turn back the clock. But the good news is, you still have choices and support to help you move forward with clarity and strength. At Two Lines, we’re here to walk with you through your next step.

No matter your story or circumstances, we believe every woman deserves the truth and access to education about all the care options available to her.Need someone to talk to? Schedule your free, confidential appointment today. You’re not alone.

A positive pregnancy test can trigger a storm of thoughts surrounding  finances, relationships, identity, fear, shame, past wounds, and future unknowns. When it all hits at once, it’s hard to breathe—let alone think clearly.

These fears are often grounded  in real and difficult experiences—abuse, abandonment, broken systems, and past trauma that overflow into all other areas of a person’s life. We’ve seen how heavy those burdens can be, and we’re here because we have also seen time and again how providing education and emotional and financial support to women and families facing an unexpected pregnancy empowers them to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles.  

We’ve compiled some of the questions and worries we often hear from the women we serve, along with the support and resources Two Lines provides to help her move forward, one step at a time. 

“There’s no way I can be a good mom.”

Many women  say this through tears or after hearing their baby’s heartbeat for the first time. It is not a careless statement and comes from a place of love, because deep down it means they care.

At Two Lines, we believe in equipping every woman with the right information and resources to empower her to determine the next best step for her and her family when determining what to do when her pregnancy test is positive. 

We offer more than  medical-grade pregnancy tests and free ultrasounds, we also provide experienced insight into the needs of individuals facing unplanned pregnancies, tangible support and baby supplies, long-term parenting support and mentorship, and referrals to trusted community partners.

“My parents are going to hate me.”

While there are times in which news of an unexpected pregnancy results in strained relationships and the parent or parents of an expecting mother distance themselves from their child, there are also countless times in which parents have leaned into the news unexpectedly with love and support. 

We cannot make promises about how family will react to news of an unexpected pregnancy, but what we can promise is that Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic is here to support women and families facing an unexpected pregnancy with compassion—that’s our mission and the reason we exist! We can help with how to share with your family, educate on options available for the pregnancy  and, when needed, extend support through safety planning. 

 At Two Lines, we are ready to meet women wherever they are in their journey—we’re with you.

“My boyfriend will leave if I keep it.”

Maybe he’s already said he’s not ready, or maybe you just know. The fear of losing a relationship can feel heavier than the pregnancy itself. It’s confusing and painful when love suddenly feels conditional.

At Two Lines, we understand how complicated relationships can become during an unexpected pregnancy. That’s why we create space for you to process what’s happening with honesty, compassion, and no pressure. If he walks away, we stay. If he stays, we help you both grow stronger together. We’re here for you, and him, with support, referrals, and resources to navigate this moment side by side. Because real love doesn’t give ultimatums. Real love protects, encourages, and grows. And even if this relationship doesn’t last, your story isn’t over. 

“I’m just… overwhelmed.”

Women from all walks of life come into the clinic every day with a variety of life challenges. Many arrive overwhelmed by their current circumstances and aren’t sure how they will take care of a baby. Whether it’s their first pregnancy or their seventh, whether they have experienced past or present trauma or medical scares—no matter how difficult or complex the life circumstances, we see overwhelm as a clear sign of a need for support and that is exactly what we are here for. 

When everything feels too heavy to handle, even making a decision can seem impossible. The fear, the pressure, the unknown, it can all pile up fast. At Two Lines, we understand how paralyzing that weight can feel. That’s why we give you space to be heard and time to breathe. You’re not expected to have it all figured out. With a network of trusted resources, we meet you where you are, offering referrals for skilled counseling, long-term parenting support, housing connections, and more. And no matter what you decide, we’re still here. We offer post-decision care, whether you choose to parent or have already chosen abortion.

Our Calling. Our Mission.

Two Lines is a medical facility for unexpected pregnancies. 

We never pressure anyone,we never profit from a woman’s decision,and no pregnant woman will ever pay for our care. We want every woman who walks through our doors to know that she is not alone, she has options, and we are here to empower her to make informed decisions about her pregnancy. 

We’re with you.

Schedule your free, confidential appointment today. Come sit with someone ready to listen without judgment and walk with you at your pace.

Whatever your situation or your circumstances—there is hope and there is help available to you! You are not alone.

Messy. Scary. Impossible.

That’s where we begin. Not at the end of the story, with baby showers and name announcements—but at the moment when it feels like everything is happening at once and none of it was planned. When panic sets in, when silence feels loud, and when the people you thought you could count on don’t know what to say.

That’s where we show up.

At Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic, we are a medical facility for unexpected pregnancies—but we are also comfort for the scared, hope for the disillusioned, teammates for the isolated, and power for the counted-out. We don’t just offer tests and ultrasounds—we offer presence. We don’t rush decisions. We open conversations. We don’t profit from a woman’s choice—we walk with her through it, and after it.

After transitioning from Mother’s Day to Father’s Day, we wanted to pause—not to spotlight a picture-perfect ending, but to honor what’s real. A family came through our doors during one of the most uncertain seasons of their lives. They didn’t know what to expect. They just knew they needed support. And this is what they shared:

“Our experience with Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic has been truly uplifting. From the moment we walked in, we felt supported and cared for. The staff offered compassionate guidance, helpful resources, and genuine encouragement throughout the pregnancy. Their support gave us peace of mind during a life-changing time.”

It wasn’t about fixing everything. It was about helping them take the next right step—with insight, with care, and without pressure.

For Her

For many women, the weight of an unexpected pregnancy doesn’t come from one big decision—but from the million small unknowns that follow it. Where will I live? Who will help me? What will people think? What happens next?

We meet her there. Not with answers she’s not ready for, but with calm. With clear medical information. With housing support. With mental health care. With parenting education. And with a space to cry, to breathe, and to speak the things she’s not ready to say out loud anywhere else.

She’s not asked to be perfect. She’s just invited to show up.

For Him

Father’s Day isn’t just for the men who feel ready—it’s for the ones still figuring it out. It’s for the quiet partners, the unsure boyfriends, the young men who wonder if they’re allowed to be part of the story. It’s for those who feel the weight of responsibility before they feel the strength to carry it. The truth is, many want to stay—but don’t know how. That’s why we make space for them too. Because presence grows when it’s invited, and strength often starts with simply being seen.

We want to be clear: men matter here, too.

No one walks through this experience untouched. And while it’s her choice, it’s not her burden alone. We offer him a seat at the table—to ask questions, to express fears, to find out how to be present in ways that are real, not performative. Because presence doesn’t require perfection—it just requires commitment.

From Expecting Nothing to Experiencing Love

Unexpected pregnancies aren’t always easy. But they can become beautiful. Not because the path clears up overnight, but because real support—consistent, compassionate, nonjudgmental—makes it possible to take one step at a time.

We’ve seen it. In quiet rooms. In difficult conversations. In the moment when fear gives way—not to confidence, but to connection.

Because when a woman is loved unexpectedly, she may just begin to love—unexpectedly.

So in this season—and every season—we don’t just recognize mothers or fathers.
We celebrate the bridge between them.
The place where uncertainty meets support.
Where pressure gives way to possibility.
Where care becomes connection.

This isn’t about success.
It’s about the sacred space where hope begins to grow.

And that’s where we’ll be—still showing up.

“Hey! There’s no short way to put my story, so I’m just gonna lay it all out there. I know God has given me this story to share, so that is exactly what I am going to do.  

In July of 2024, I met my ex fiancé. I had just come out of a two-year long, toxic relationship and wanted something to cling to. He was apparently best friends with my ex, so it “felt like home.” Little did I know what would come of next month. He proposed three weeks into our relationship, to which I for some reason couldn’t bring myself to say no because so many people had turned me down in the past. He then used that as a reason for him to force me to do things because “I was his fiancé.” 

I told him I needed space after that occurrence. Something didn’t feel right. He totally cuts off contact with me because he said “it is either me or nothing at all.” A couple months go by, I had not gotten a period, which I linked to it just being stress related. Out of curiosity, I decided just to test because I was doubtful it was anything at all. 

I tested positive in October. I was in shock. I didn’t know what to do, but a lot of people, including one of my coworkers, pushed me into getting an abortion. 

So, I made plans and took off work and had a friend drive me up to Kansas City on the state of Kansas side, so that it would be legal for me to do so. I got up there and had an appointment at the abortion clinic in Overland Park.  

I prayed and said, “God if this is not your will then give me a sign.” 

I walk up to the door of the abortion clinic and it is locked. I am on the phone with someone who says she can see me, but I see not one soul inside that building and the door remains locked. So, I look next door to Advice & Aid (now called, Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic). 

I chose to keep my child after seeing and hearing their sweet heartbeat on the screen. After I told people that I was keeping my child, Amendment 3 was passed. I cannot count the amount of people that told me to go abort my baby “now that it was legal.” I didn’t listen. 

It came to the point of telling my mom. She was not mad, or disappointed, only overjoyed that I chose to keep my child. She in fact had just completed a volunteer training event at our local pregnancy care center and she had a pin that they gave her. I looked at the card that came with it and it was the size of my child’s feet at 10 weeks. 

I was 10 weeks pregnant when I decided not to go through with my abortion. It almost felt meant to be with the timing. God’s timing is always perfect, even when we don’t see it at the moment. 

From that point on, I knew this child was meant to be mine, regardless of how they were created, that child was from God. My little boy is going to be one of the biggest blessings in my life. I just know it. 

I am now 31 weeks pregnant with my sweet little baby boy. He is extremely active. I cannot wait for him to get here and to watch my parents become grandparents. I am blessed to have 3 baby showers thrown for me. I have almost finished my parenting program at my local pregnancy care center. I am also part of a single moms group, which has been one of the best things for me to participate in during this time of my life. 

All of this to say, God is so good! He truly knows what He is doing when He does things in our lives.”

If you’re in a place where everything feels messy, scary, and impossible—know this: You don’t have to walk alone. There’s a place where your story matters. Where your health, your heart, and your future are taken seriously. Reach out to Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic today.

Facing an unplanned pregnancy can be an overwhelming and emotional experience. If you’re feeling uncertain, scared, or unsure of what to do next, we want you to know that you are not alone. At Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic, we offer compassionate care, a safe space for you to explore your feelings, and resources to help you understand your options. 

If you’re ready to talk about your options or need to learn more about your situation, schedule an appointment with us today for a free pregnancy test and ultrasound. You deserve clarity and support, and we’re here to help you through every step. Here are 10 things you should know about abortion and pregnancy to help you feel more informed and empowered in making your choice.

1. You Have Options

When it comes to an unplanned pregnancy, you have several options to consider: parenting, adoption, or abortion. It’s important to take the time to explore each of these options thoroughly. At Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic, we are here to provide you with the resources and emotional support you need to make the decision that feels right for you. 

2. Early Pregnancy Symptoms

Before making any decision, it’s important to confirm whether you’re pregnant. Common early pregnancy symptoms include a missed period, fatigue, and nausea. If you’re unsure, a pregnancy test and ultrasound can give you clarity about your situation. We offer free pregnancy tests and ultrasounds at Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic.

3. The Importance of an Ultrasound

An ultrasound is a key part of understanding your pregnancy. It can confirm how far along you are and check for any complications. If you are considering abortion, it’s important to know whether the pregnancy is viable, as this can impact your decision-making process. At Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic, we offer ultrasounds at no cost to you.

4. Types of Abortion

There are two main types of abortion procedures: medication abortion (the abortion pill) and surgical abortion. The type of procedure will depend on how far along you are in your pregnancy. It’s important to fully understand how each method works and the risks involved.

5. Risks of Abortion

Like any medical procedure, abortion carries potential risks. These can include infection, heavy bleeding, or damage to the uterus. It’s important to be aware of these risks and discuss them with a healthcare professional who can help you understand what to expect. We are here to offer you the medical support and information you need to make an informed decision. 

6. Abortion and Future Fertility

Many women worry about the impact of abortion on future fertility. While most women who have an abortion can go on to have children in the future, there are some risks to consider, such as complications that may affect your reproductive health. Our team can help you understand these risks and offer guidance based on your unique situation. 

7. Emotional Effects of Abortion

Abortion can have emotional effects that last long after the procedure. It’s important to consider how you may feel afterward and to have a support system in place. At Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic, we offer counseling services to help you process your emotions and make the decision that feels right for you. 

8. Building Your Support System

We understand that it can feel like you’re navigating this on your own. But please know, you’re not alone. If you’re looking for a system of support, it’s here for you. We’re here not only for you but also to help your loved ones understand how they can best support you through this. If they’re unsure, or if you haven’t found that support system yet, we’re here to help you build it, and your community is ready to walk with you.

9. Follow-up Care After Abortion

Whether you choose abortion or another option, follow-up care is essential to ensure your health and well-being. Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic offers post-abortion care, including physical check-ups and emotional support, to ensure you have the resources you need to heal and feel supported. We’ll be here for you, every step of the way. 

10. It’s Not Too Late

If you’ve already made a decision and are feeling uncertain about it, know this: it’s not set in stone. Things can be reversed and you’re not locked into a path that doesn’t feel right. We’re here to help you explore your options, make informed choices, and support you through the process.
