I want to share my experience this past week at the first step women’s center to hopefully help another woman in her pregnancy journey. I suspected by my last period I was just under 8 weeks, the staff was all very kind and understanding through my entire appointment. When it came time for the ultrasound after a positive pregnancy test, I was told I most likely had a unviable pregnancy and would miscarry. What was shown on the screen appeared to just be an empty sack that measured right over 8 weeks. They did refer me to see my regular OB. Devastated, the following day my fiancé and I go to my OB and explain the situation. After a physical exam, she is not convinced by the size of my uterus that I am 8 weeks. After another ultrasound come to find out the empty sack that I was told of the day before to be a unviable pregnancy, was a small fluid filled cyst in my right ovary and I was approximately 5 weeks pregnant. After bloodwork we are told everything is normal and in a couple weeks can do another ultrasound to verify. When first step was contacted for the ultrasound taken, the nurse who called was told the results hadn’t been read by a doctor yet and weren’t available. Please do not tell anyone what is going on with their body unless you are 100% positive and educated enough to do so.

I went there with a friend. She left there with so much hope, knowledge, and happiness. I left there with sincere peace and hope for her! First Step made such a positive impact on her and me. I would highly recommend scheduling an appointment there if you are facing an unplanned pregnancy. Their staff was so compassionate and professional. The RN's were incredible as well!

First Step Women's Center, previously Lifetime Pregnancy Help Center changed the course of my life! Ten years ago when I was 17, I found myself pregnant and desperate for find a way out of my pregnancy. I meet Debbie and her family through my church. She along with my family encouraged me to seek out my options before making such a life changing decision. I was not keen on the idea of meeting with a "counselor", but decided what do I have to loose. I went with the center and was given and array of information regarding all of my options, (abortion, adoption and parenting). Never once did I feel pressured to make a decision based on the center's beliefs. Never was I put down for considering all options. The women at the center prayed for me, told me their own testimony's and provided me more care and love in that one meeting than I had felt in a long time. It was such a warm, non-confrontational, non-discriminating place to be, that I continued to go back. I became a spokes person for the center for a brief period after having my daughter in February of 2010. Choosing life for my daughter was my decision. Providing me the information to make an educated decision and showing me the power I have when I put my faith in God was theirs (Lifetime/First Step Women's Center)! I stand for everything this center believes in! I have encouraged so many women in difficult situations to just go and feel the love. To know that someone cares, speaks volumes when you find yourself in a desperate situation. Thank you Debbie, Tim, family, friends, employees and volunteers of this center. Your mission to spread the word of God in such a positive and non-invasive manner is astonishing! If anyone finds themselves in a difficult situation, please visit the center! What do you have to loose? An educated decision not based on fear or instant gratification can change the course of your life FOREVER! I know it did for me.

They have a caring,knowledgeable, and considerate staff . I felt comfortable from the moment I walked in and felt thoroughly educated on all of my options upon leaving. I would highly recommended them to anyone!

This is a fake clinic. The staff in these clinics are only playing doctor or nurse. They mislead women and scare them out of having abortions. They are set up near REAL hospitals, women’s health centers, and planned parenthood clinics so they can bait and lure women who may not be aware that First Step Women’s Center is a fake clinic. They are sometimes publicly funded and are a disgrace to communities. They often are set up as vans, which are sketchy anyway. They lie about how far along a woman’s pregnancy is and string her along until they are past the state gestation weeks to legally obtain an abortion. Fake clinics are pro-lying, anti-woman, anti-reproductive rights, and anti-freedom. Do not go here! End the lies. You have rights to your own body- don’t let these pretend doctors tell you that you don’t. End the lies. Expose fake clinics.
