AAA Pregnancy Options - Hempstead

Tthe "complications" they're sharing are not based in ANY SCIENCE. Please go to a REAL health center that won't lie to you about your options when faced with an unplanned pregnancy. Why trust AAA when they don't trust you?

I came in expecting to be in a neutral environment and I really wanted to take an accurate pregnancy test and discuss all possible options. Unfortunately I left uncomfortable and unsatisfied. This place is extremely pro-choice. My counselor asked me a series of questions, including what my stance is on whether I am pro-life or not, to which I said I am pro-choice. She then proceeded to ask me if I had religious beliefs to which I said no and then she recommended I should look into becoming a religious believer, which had absolutely nothing to do with the circumstances. And said that my baby will feel pain at two months if I were to have an abortion I did my research when I got home and it is scientifically proven that a baby does not feel pain until the third trimester. I was very set on my decision and I felt very uncomfortable telling her because it was very clear that that was not what she wanted me to do. She claimed she wanted to fight for me and my baby and said she would pray for me. Im a very passive person and I hate to express anger and frustration in any form so I really just did not know what to say other then to just agree with her so I can leave. I left with guilt, and absolutely no information on other options. She gave me a homemade baby blanket that I will be giving to my brother for his newborn, several pro-life packets, a book of Mother Theresa sayings, and 1 abortion pamphlet. THE ONLY THING I WILL SAY THAT IS AMAZING about this place: Is that if you are set on having a baby, and you feel as though you are financially struggling. They will provide you with whatever you need and I believe that is wonderful. They also help women who have been mentally and physically abused.

Very friendly and caring staff. Clothes, furniture, diapers, food, car seats, carriages.... all the needs of the baby and mother are met. Counseling services found, help for new parents, Spanish speaking compassionate help available. Treat the crisis, don't destroy a life.

The Hempstead Life Center is manned by caring volunteers who provide their clients with compassion, alternatives & factual information. They provide medical referrals for sonograms & pre-natal care. They never coerce or try to deceive anyone. They are there with emotional support during the 9 months of pregnancy & material aid for the first 3 years of the babies life.

I came to AAA Pregnancy Options due to an unplanned pregnancy. I came in need of honest pregnancy options from a counselor. Immediately the counselor started stating multiple personal reasons as to why she would do anything to save a baby's life. That's great but was not my concern since I am unsure with how I would like to proceed with the pregnancy. After explaining that to her, she continued to say how her daughter is unable to have child & how she herself had an abortion. At this point I felt extremely uncomfortable and insecure. Cut to the chase; i've taken 6 pregnancy tests including 2 of theirs that resulted POSITIVE. I explained that it was URGENT I needed further assistance and they refused to provide until there was a heartbeat. After asking me "when does the baby's heartbeat start".. the cousolur didn't even know when a baby's heart starts! She once again stated her personal option "if it has a heartbeat it's alive, how would your parents feel if you kill this baby? worse than if you kept it?". At this point I knew I had to get out of there. I left more confused than when I walked in. They did not provide me medical assistance, medical advice, and they did not have any professional advice. Do not go to AAA unless you want just personal opinions from an undertrained counselor. Thankfully plan parenthood was across the street and is further assisting me.

Pregnancy centers like these give accurate information, non-judgmental information and encouragement, and support in the way of a plethora resources. A great place to go for a second opinion if you're pregnant and scared. There is real help and hope.

The negative reviews on here are clearly from people who think killing babies should be your only option. Pregnancy centers don’t do abortions and consequently have real options. If you are looking for real choices, this is the place to go.

Provides medically inaccurate information. In extremely biased and anti-choice. It uses scary language masquerading as abortion facts. They are not facts. It will not provide abortion referrals or abortion procedures. If you pregnant and considering your options this place is NOT the place to go to. Whatever you decide, please go to a more balanced place that can provide real, medically accurate support.

They are super friendly and gave me a free pregnancy test.. Other places don’t take time to get to know you, AAA Pregnancy Option helped me with options and information and now I have a better understanding.

Definitely a great place. They help mothers when they need help the most, by providing supplies and counseling for fathers, too, and referrals to assistance programs and job-search resources.
