Healthcare workers can support expecting
parents by helping them understand all of

00:00:06.418 --> 00:00:07.360
their options.

Being professional,
caring for her as a patient.

00:00:13.280 --> 00:00:17.665
In my own personal life,
finding out that I was pregnant at a very

00:00:17.665 --> 00:00:18.320
young age.

00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:23.480
I went in for my first appointment with
my OBGYN and being scared.

00:00:25.040 --> 00:00:26.440
She asked me basic questions.

00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:31.882
She saw me for who I was as a person and
ask me simple questions like what are

00:00:31.882 --> 00:00:32.640
your plans?

00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:33.600
What are you going to do?

00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:40.808
She saw me for who I was and she did not
respond in ways that were pressuring or

00:00:40.808 --> 00:00:41.520
shaming.

00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:45.040
At 17 years old in that situation,
it's very scary.

00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:48.313
But instead,
when I told her what my plans were,

00:00:48.313 --> 00:00:50.080
she said it's a really good option.

00:00:50.080 --> 00:00:52.400
It sounds like you've really thought this
through.

00:00:53.160 --> 00:00:58.740
So that simple confirmation set the tone
for what I expected for all other

00:00:58.740 --> 00:01:00.600
healthcare professionals.
