Unplanned and Untimely Pregnancy


Being pregnant is an extremely emotional and critical time in a woman's life.  If the pregnancy is unexpected, you may be feeling scared or confused.

Unplanned Pregnancy

If your pregnancy is unexpected or unwanted, you may not know what to do. It is important to remember that you have options.  You may decide to terminate the pregnancy or carry the child to term.  If you indeed carry the child to term you can decide to parent the child, place the child in foster care, have a relative adopt the child, or place the child for adoption.   But first, you need to make sure you are pregnant.

Please review the "Pregnancy tests" section of this website.  In the meantime, be sure to take good care of yourself:

* Don’t drink alcohol.
* Don't smoke.
* Don't do drugs.
* Don't eat junk food.
* Don't take any medications without talking to your doctor.

* Do get plenty of rest.
* Do at healthy foods.
* Do exercise.

It can be very difficult to decide what to do. It helps to talk to someone you trust. This can be your baby's father, a family member, or a friend. Your psychologist, physician, minister or rabbi may also be helpful. Try to find someone who won't pressure you into making a decision you're uncomfortable with. If you don't feel like you have anyone you can talk to, your doctor may be able to help you find a specially trained counselor.  Please feel free to contact Dr. Berger, a psychologist and the developer of  this website, who has been helping others for over 38 years.
