Learn All You Can About Your Options
It’s essential to know that you have options right now, and only you can decide what’s right for you. By learning all you can about your options, you will help ensure you’re making your own decision, free from outside pressure.
Your pregnancy options include parenting, adoption, and abortion. When thinking through these options, asking yourself the following questions can help:
- What option am I leaning toward and why?
- Is anyone making me feel pressured into one option over another?
- What are my biggest concerns about each option?
- If my circumstances weren’t a factor, which option would I consider?
Talk to Someone You Trust
After thinking through your options, sometimes it can help to talk to someone you trust. When choosing who to talk to, it’s critical to pick someone who won’t push their own opinions onto you but who will instead listen without judgment.
