A pregnancy can be a stressful time of concern and doubt. An unplanned pregnancy even more so. However, the incredible responsibility of bringing another life into the world is just that—incredible. At Lutheran Family Service, we are committed to help you create a plan that allows you to realize the beauty and joy of bringing a new life into the world.
Working throughout the state of Iowa and North & Central Illinois, Lutheran Family Service pregnancy counselors travel to homes, schools and hospitals to support young women making life-affirming choices for their future and the future of their babies.

When I found out I was pregnant, I didn't know where to turn. My counselor was a great help through the information and support she provided. I am so thankful that I had her to talk to!
