Finding out you are pregnant when you didn’t expect to be can bring up many emotions. You might be considering abortion but are still on the fence and are unsure about what to do.
Healthy support can make all the difference during this time. Having someone who listens without trying to make the decision for you can give you the space to process your feelings, find your own voice, and consider what you truly want.

The Importance of Healthy Support vs. Pressure
Healthy support when considering your options can help you feel heard, respected, and safe. You could seek support from a trusted friend, family member, or partner.
Your loved ones may have strong feelings about your pregnancy; however, if those opinions turn into pressure or guilt, this can make an already difficult situation even harder.
Finding support without judgment is important. If you’re struggling to hear your own voice among other people’s opinions, it may be helpful to take a step back and set boundaries.
Make Space for Your Own Feelings
If everyone around you has an opinion, it can be difficult to understand what you truly want and how you feel. Take some time to consider your own thoughts and feelings. You may find journaling helpful, along with asking yourself questions such as:
- What am I feeling about this pregnancy?
- What information do I still need?
- What kind of support would be helpful to me right now?
- Do I feel free to make my own pregnancy decision?
Giving yourself time to understand what you need can help you gain clarity about your next steps and the type of support that would be most helpful to you.
Find a Safe Space to Talk
Finding a safe space where you can talk openly without worrying about judgment or how someone will react can make a big difference.
Next Step Pregnancy Decision and Support can provide non-judgmental support and information about your options, as well as free pregnancy testing and a limited ultrasound to provide important information about your pregnancy.
We are here to treat you with the compassion and respect you deserve.
