Deciding

Unplanned pregnancy

All of your options, described as plainly as we can manage and without pushing you toward any of them. What each one actually involves, how to find out how far along you are, and where to get help from people who aren't trying to sell you an answer.

Before you read on. These pages describe every option without recommending any of them — that decision is yours, and it is not one a website should be making for you. What is available, what it costs, and what the time limits are all depend on where you live and can change. Treat anything here as a starting point and confirm the details for your own country or state with a provider or a service listed on these pages.

Confirming the pregnancy and knowing how far along you are

This page settles the two questions almost everyone asks first — is this really confirmed, and how many weeks along am I — and which symptoms mean you should call a provider today rather than wait for an appointment.

Considering adoption

This page explains what adoption actually involves if you're pregnant and thinking about it — the legal process, the different levels of contact, and the support available — without suggesting it's the right path or the only one.

Financial and practical support

This page lays out the financial and practical help that actually exists for an unplanned pregnancy — what it typically covers, what it doesn't, and how to find out what specifically applies to you.

Telling your family and your partner

This page walks through when and how to tell your partner and family, what to do if the reaction isn't what you hoped for, and who you can turn to if you're not ready to tell anyone yet.

Thinking through your options

There are three paths from here, and this page describes all of them without arguing for any. What each one actually involves, why knowing how far along you are changes the picture, and how to tell impartial advice from advice with an agenda.
