SO I’M PREGNANT. WHAT NEXT?
If you want to be pregnant, terrific. If you were hoping you weren’t, that’s not so good.
If this is an unplanned pregnancy, you may have some thinking to do. Despite the fact that every person’s situation is different, the bottom line is you have to make a choice: to continue with the pregnancy or not. This is rarely an easy decision to make, and you may want to seek help rather than making it alone. You do not have to make this decision immediately. If you are considering termination of a pregnancy, it is best done before ten to twelve weeks, so you usually have a little time after finding out you are pregnant. It is a good idea not to leave it till the last minute, but don’t feel you have to rush into action prematurely. You might like to talk to your doctor, or a counsellor, a friend or relative. There are agencies set up specifically for helping people in this situation. Family planning clinics can often help, or direct you to local help.
If this is a wanted pregnancy, there are still things to do and plan. You can make arrangements for your care during the pregnancy and delivery, based on your situation, history and wishes.
