Brooke's Story

"Brooke" visited Life Forward for a pregnancy test. She was very anxious and did not want to be pregnant. She had researched abortion and wasn’t planning to tell anyone about her pregnancy because she didn’t want anyone to influence her decision. Hannah Dell, Life Forward's Sonographer, offered her some literature but Brooke refused. Instead, she felt that having an ultrasound would help her with her decision.

Hannah shares that Brooke "was anxious during the exam and was surprised to hear her baby's heartbeat." At that moment, something seemed to change for Brooke. She asked Hannah how developed the baby was. She left the Center feeling uncertain about what she should do. She shared with Hannah that she now planned to talk to her boyfriend so they could consider raising their baby together.

Each day at Life Forward, women like Brooke are able to hear their baby's heartbeat for the first time. We need your help to continue offering ultrasounds and other life-giving services to women and their families. Please consider making a gift today.
