Learn More About Your Options After An Unplanned Or Teenage Pregnancy
Having a child is a life-long commitment that only begins with the nine months of pregnancy. Even if you do not ultimately decide to parent your child, you will live with the effects of your choice for your entire life. This makes becoming fully informed of your options extremely important.
As a pregnant woman, you have three options to choose from. The following resources were created so that you can learn more about these choices.
If you are facing an unplanned pregnancy, it’s more important than ever to seek support from experienced counselors. Personal guidance can help you evaluate your own situation, and will help you make the right choice for you and your baby. Call our free support line at 1-800-355-5500 to speak with someone 24 / 7.
