What to Do if You Don’t Want to Be Pregnant

Adoption

Adoption is a great option if you’re looking for a way to give your baby a loving future while also making sure your own future stays on track. It’s a way for you to create a better situation for both you and your baby, and you’ll have the opportunity to choose the family that will raise your child. Plus, you can stay connected if that’s something that feels right for you.

There are a few types of adoption to consider:

• Open Adoption: This means you’ll have some contact with the adoptive family and your child, like letters, photos, or visits.
• Semi-Open Adoption: Here, you’ll have indirect contact through a mediator—like a counselor—who will pass messages back and forth.
• Closed Adoption: There’s no contact after the adoption process.

The best part? Adoption is always free, and there may be financial help available to support you during your pregnancy. If you’re wondering if adoption is the right fit for you, know that it can be an option at any point in your pregnancy.

Parenting

If you’re thinking about continuing the pregnancy and raising your child, you’re not alone in this, either. Many organizations are here to help with everything from financial assistance to parenting classes to emotional support. It’s a big decision, but it’s one that many people find they can take on with the right resources and guidance.

Taking Care of Your Health through Pregnancy

Whether you decide to parent or place your baby for adoption, taking care of your health during pregnancy is really important. Even if you are pregnant and unsure of what to do, here are a few things you can do to stay healthy:

• Get regular checkups: Prenatal care is key to making sure both you and your baby are doing well.
• Eat well: A healthy diet helps you and your baby grow strong.
• Take prenatal vitamins: They’re super important for preventing birth defects and keeping you healthy.
• Drink water: Staying hydrated is essential for both you and your baby.
• Stay away from harmful substances: Avoid things like alcohol, tobacco, and recreational drugs.
• Get moving: Simple exercise, like walking, can reduce stress and keep you feeling good.
• Rest up: Make sure you’re getting enough sleep and taking care of yourself.
• Find ways to manage stress: Talking to a counselor, joining a support group, or just having someone to vent to can make a big difference.
