Dealing with an unplanned pregnancy when you are not in a relationship can be challenging. You may be worried about telling the man involved, or you may not know who he is, or how to contact him. You might be scared to tell your family or friends, and be afraid of what their reactions might be. You may not want to tell anyone at all.
Other people’s reactions
You may have already confided in family, friends, or the man involved, and not got a supportive reaction. You could feel particularly conscious or sensitive that you are not in a relationship. You also may feel pressure to make decisions now which others feel are for the best, but you are unsure of.
Sometimes it can help to speak with someone outside of the situation. Talking to a counsellor can help.
