Care Net Pregnancy Centers of Albuquerque provide FREE pregnancy services, including testing and ultra-sounds. STI testing and post-abortive care are also available for the asking. Paula Gonzales is the Executive Director of Care Net Pregnancy Centers of Albuquerque, and Jennifer Ward is the Community Outreach Director.

Finding out you are pregnant can feel scary if the pregnancy was unplanned. Feelings of anger, anxiety, denial and depression are all normal reactions. Carrying a pregnancy to term and raising a baby is no easy task, so it is understandable if you and your partner are unsure what to do.
