I Don't Want This Pregnancy - What Are My Options and How Might I Feel?

Sexual Health, Consent & Reproductive Choices

If something feels unsafe or urgent

You can always get help, whatever your age, without an account.

You are allowed to not want this pregnancy. You are entitled to non-judgemental counselling on all three options and to make the decision yourself.

What's happening

Deciding under pressure, shame or a deadline is hard. Gestational age matters legally, so getting the pregnancy dated early keeps your options open. Whatever you choose, mixed feelings afterwards are normal and support is available.

Usually normal

Feeling relief and grief together
Changing your mind while thinking it through
Wanting to keep the decision private

Get checked if

Anyone forcing or preventing your choice — that is a rights violation
Unsafe or unregistered 'abortion' adverts on poles or online — these are dangerous, never use them
Thoughts of self-harm

Your next step

Book options counselling at a public clinic or Marie Stopes this week — only registered facilities, never a street advert — and take one trusted person with you if you can.
