Birth Control Information

The Pregnancy Network offers information to help you understand birth control and contraceptives better. It can be a confusing topic! We have found that many people have questions about birth control. Click the button below to read about the different types of birth control, their effectiveness, side effects, and more. During your appointment, one of our registered nurses would be glad to talk with you more about this topic. 

Community Referrals

We offer information on other community resources and organizations we trust to meet your needs if we can’t. Referrals can be for things like further OBGYN care, housing, food, jobs, or counseling. Below are a few of the most common referrals we make, along with the contact information for each.

We’d love to help you prepare for your pregnancy by connecting you with these resources. Make an appointment with us today to get started.
