You have sole authority in determining how you handle your pregnancy. Our role is to empower you with true and accurate information to help you make an informed decision for yourself.    ### Schedule an Appointment At Care Net Pregnancy Center of Central Texas, we value truthfulness, privacy, and your womanhood.
