You and Your Pregnancy

 
Finding out that you are faced with an unplanned pregnancy can seem over whelming. You may be feeling scared, confused and alone

Try not to panic and to take the time to consider what it is you really want.  

“Choices are made within a framework of information”
 

            Some Concerns You Have May Include:

• I can’t let my parents know – they’ll kill me!
• I can’t support myself, much less a baby, I want to finish school
• My boyfriend will break up with me if I don’t have an abortion
• My mother is pressuring me to have an abortion
• Getting pregnant was an accident; I just want to undo it.
• I don’t like what pregnancy will do to my body.
• It’s not really a baby; It’s just a “blob of tissue”.          
• I’m pregnant because of rape
• I have to have an abortion, there’s no other way.  

  
We realise this may not be your exact situation. It is advisable to slow down your decision making process and look at your options when you are over the initial shock.

It is important that your pregnancy choice be an informed one. Often the views of other people closest to us affect how we feel. It’s important that you consider what you feel about having a baby.

        Is the pregnancy the problem?

        How realistic are your fears?

        If the problems you are experiencing didn't exist would parenting your child be so daunting?

        Is being pregnant the problem? Imagine if you were in a different situation.
