Pregnant and scared? Find help and hope here
Finding out you are pregnant can be overwhelming, particularly when the pregnancy was not expected. If you are worried about unplanned pregnancy, it is completely understandable to feel uncertain, confused or even pregnant and scared about what comes next. Please know that you do not have to face these emotions or decisions by yourself. At Legacy Adoption Services®, our Texas unplanned pregnancy counseling services provide free information, guidance and a safe place to talk through your situation, without pressure or judgment.
We believe every woman deserves compassionate support and trustworthy information when dealing with an unexpected pregnancy. You can reach out to us any time, day or night, by calling (817) 799-6834 to get the help you need to ease your mind and plan your next steps.
I am pregnant and scared. What now?
If you have just discovered that you are pregnant, start by giving yourself time to process the news and the emotions that it brings. You do not have to make every decision immediately. Feeling unsure about what to do is normal, and if you are pregnant and scared, allowing yourself time to just breathe can help you find the calm you need before taking your next steps.
Taking care of your health is also important right now. If you have not already done so, contact a doctor or your OBGYN to confirm your pregnancy. You should also begin taking prenatal vitamins and learn about what you should be eating and what substances you should avoid to protect your health and the health of your baby.
It can also help to talk with someone you trust. This could be a close friend, a family member or the baby’s father. You certainly do not have to share your situation with everyone in your circle, but having someone supportive to talk to or be with can make this difficult time feel less overwhelming.
This is also a good time to learn about the options available to you. Depending on your circumstances, those choices may include parenting your baby, either on your own or with your boyfriend, or creating an adoption plan. Taking time to understand what each option could mean for you will help you make decisions you feel comfortable with.
Legacy’s Texas unplanned pregnancy counseling services provide a safe place where you can ask questions and explore your options, without feeling pressured. If you are pregnant and scared, our team is here to listen, provide information, and help you work through the challenges you may be facing.
