If you have had a positive pregnancy test result you might be unsure of what to do next, especially if the pregnancy was not planned.
You might want to take some time to look at your options. You could decide to have the baby yourself, give it up for adoption, or have an abortion.
It might help to talk things through with a friend, family member or helpline adviser to clear things in your mind. Calling fpa Sexual Health Direct or Brook (if you are under 25) is a good place to start.
No matter what you decide to do it is important to see a doctor. If you are continuing with the pregnancy this is so you can arrange pregnancy/antenatal care, which is important both for your and your baby’s health. If you decide to have an abortion, it is better to seek help and advice to get things in motion as soon as possible. And if you aren’t sure what you want to do, a doctor or nurse can help you make the decision.
