An unplanned pregnancy can feel overwhelming and bring up complex emotions. If you’re considering abortion, it’s important to understand how it can affect you—both physically and mentally. The relationship between abortion and mental health is a topic every woman needs to understand before making her decision.

At the link, we’ll explore the effects of abortion on mental health and where you can go to get help: www.wehelpyou.org/how-does-abortion-affect-mental-health/

Your body is designed to do incredible things — but pregnancy and childbirth place real strain on it. Strengthening your pelvic floor before and after childbirth can make a measurable difference in how you feel and recover.

The pelvic floor muscles support your bladder, uterus, and bowel. When they’re strong and properly trained:
• You may reduce the risk of incontinence
• Labor and pushing can be more effective
• Postpartum recovery is often smoother and faster

Join us Thursday, March 26th at 2:00 p.m. at BPC downtown (1801 18th St., 93301) to learn pelvic floor exercises presented by students from the University of Utah.

If you’re pregnant or recently postpartum, this practical knowledge will serve you for life.

To reserve your spot, or with questions, call 326-1907.

How does the abortion pill work?

It's important to know both how to take medicine 💊💊 and how it works. How late can you take it? Is it legal in California? Can you get it over the counter or order it online?

👉 Get answers to those questions and more at www.wehelpyou.org/abortion-pill/

We’re here to help.

If you’re wondering, “How long does an abortion take?” you’re not the only one asking.

The timeline can look different depending on whether you’re considering the abortion pill or a surgical procedure. Knowing what to expect before, during, and after each option can help you feel more prepared.

While the Bakersfield Pregnancy Center does not perform or refer for abortions, we believe you deserve honest, compassionate, and complete information so you can make an informed choice.
