So, you just found out you’re pregnant. Maybe you’ve known for a while but the more you think about it, the more you realize you don’t want to be pregnant.
Close your eyes and take a deep breath. It’s okay. Your thoughts may be swirling in your mind at a mile a minute. You may not know what to do about your pregnancy and you may not feel comfortable talking to anyone about it. The good news is, you’ve come to the right place.
Millions of women just like you have experienced the very same feelings you feel. Nearly half of all pregnancies were unintended between 2009 and 2013, according to data collected for a CDC study. You are not alone. And, even though it may not feel like it, you are in control.
Here’s what you need to know if you’re thinking to yourself, I don’t want to be pregnant:
You don’t have to be a mother if you don’t want to be. Additionally, you don’t have to be pregnant if you don’t want to be. You have options and the right to choose what’s best for you and your child.
Parenting
Raising a baby isn’t easy, but, it can be an amazing journey. Being a parent is a long-term commitment, too, requiring your time, finances, love and attention.
Nevertheless, motherhood can still be an option for you. An unplanned pregnancy can be daunting. Scary. Heartbreaking, even. But, if you choose to embark on the journey of motherhood, there are resources available for you.
Abortion
You do have the option to end your pregnancy. Abortion can be a touchy subject. However, when it comes to your life and your baby’s life, it doesn’t have to be a political issue. Still, ending your pregnancy is huge step and cannot be undone.
If you are considering getting an abortion, know that you are not alone. Try not to rush your decision. Instead, take the time to learn about all of your options. Know that you are free to make the best decision for your life and for your baby. It can be difficult to talk about considering abortion, but our Texas Adoption Center specialists would love to walk alongside you and support you as you make your decision.
Adoption
You don’t have to be a parent and your child can live an incredible life with a loving family. Adoption is a beautiful thing and can be an incredible option for pregnant women who aren’t ready to become mothers.
