When do I have to make a decision about what to do?

Although you might feel under pressure to make a decision, it’s important to take some time to consider your options and make sure you’re making the right decision for you.

When making your decision, it may be helpful to consider:

• Your life now. What’s most important to you in your life at the moment? May involve many things such as, family, friends, work, education.
• Your future. What are your hope and aims for the future?

It’s important that you receive support when you need it and don’t feel pressured into making a decision you don’t want. The decision is yours. It may be difficult to know what to do but support is available to help you decide.

You can choose to:

• Continue with the pregnancy and become a parent.
• End the pregnancy by having an abortion
• Continue with the pregnancy and choose adoption.
