A year ago, I had just moved to Hemet with my dad and was trying to have a fresh start in my life. I needed to get away from my old stomping grounds. When things went bad in Hemet and I realized that those surroundings weren’t good for me either, I made the decision and I moved in with my boyfriend in Ramona. One day I felt like I might be pregnant, but I didn’t know. After drinking my morning coffee, I had vomited and suspected, so the next day I came in for a pregnancy test and met with Michelle. I was really scared thinking that I wasn’t ready for this. I had just gotten my fresh start and wasn’t thinking I was stable enough yet for this. I was scared and nervous when I came in and thought about abortion. Michelle made me feel so comfortable that I had support here. She was really concerned about how I was feeling, compassionate. When I left I was definitely feeling kind of excited because I wanted to be the best mom and knew that I had people here at the clinic that were there for me. The best service was the sonograms. I got to see her on the screen for the very first time. You guys had so much information on everything. I love this place. Classes with my counselor were really thorough and all the material helped me learn what to expect and took away my fears. The Bridges meetings really proved that you guys are supportive of pregnant women and mothers of newborns. Now I have a 3 month old little girl. She’s the best thing in my life. Going forward and having her has been the best decision I could have made. My life is in a very secure place and I couldn’t be any happier. I plan on going back to work and school eventually. I’ve completed my prerequisites and now I need to work on my major. My boyfriend and I talk about getting married all the time and want to have more children.

I went here because I knew that I was pregnant but it was my first pregnancy. Although I have insurance, my doctor only sees me once per month and would not even see me at all until I was about 8 weeks pregnant. I just wanted more. Here I can go to weekly classes on pregnancy and childbirth, there is a bi-monthly support group for woman who have had children or are pregnant, and they even gave me free ultrasounds, prenatal vitamins, nutrition consultations, and a copy of "What To Expect When You're Expecting"! You can earn points in the form of "baby bucks" for attending all of these things and even for having a bank account or a job. These bucks can be used at a local thrift store or at a store in the clinic to purchase items like diapers, formula, baby clothes, maternity clothes, and furniture. I think anybody that is pregnant should come in and check it out. You can be as involved or not as involved as you so choose and depending on your schedule. They are funded by private donations from the community and are really doing a great service for Ramona.

Everyone was so nice and talked to me and helped me through a kinda scary time and took the very first picture of my baby boy, my blessing from God.  I’m very grateful for Ramona Pregnancy Care Clinic.

It has been a wonderful experience working with each and every person here at Ramona Pregnancy Care Clinic. When I came here I did not know what to expect, but everyone has gone over and above, assisting me in getting the help I needed .

It was great to come to a place where I knew they cared and talk to a neutral person each week and feel better about my situation no matter what was going on.I found exactly what I needed with Ramona Pregnancy Care Clinic.
