Unplanned or unwanted pregnancy

If you are facing an unplanned or unwanted pregnancy, this may be a stressful time where you will need to make some difficult decisions. It is good to remember that many women face an unplanned pregnancy and that you are not alone. It is important to become well informed about the options available to you and to discuss these with a trusted support person.

Not all women feel the need to seek advice from a counsellor or health professional to help them make their decision, however there are support services and information available to help you make the right decision for you should you need or want them. The advice you receive should be non-directive, non-judgmental and respectful.
