Understanding your options
If you're facing an unplanned pregnancy, know that whatever you're feeling - whether it's uncertainty, fear, relief, or a mix of emotions - is valid.
This guide is designed to help you understand the different paths available to you and what each one involves, so you can make the decision that's right for your circumstances. It is not medical advice, and it does not advocate for any particular choice - that decision is yours alone.
As you think through your options, we encourage you to:
- Speak with people you trust - friends, family, or a counsellor
- Seek medical care to ensure your health and wellbeing
- Take the time you need — you don't have to decide everything immediately
