Unsure? Getting advice and counselling

Pregnancy may be something that may be unexpected, what you have been hoping for or planned for – regardless, you are bound to have lots of questions.

If you think you’re pregnant, you’re probably experiencing a range of emotions and that is normal.

You may feel pressure to make a decision, but it is important that you take the time to consider what’s best for your physical and mental health and feel certain that you’re making the right decision for yourself. It’s important to seek support when you need it and remember that the decision is yours.

All options counselling

All-options pregnancy counselling allows you to explore your feelings, thoughts, behaviours in regards to pregnancy options in an unbiased and non-judgmental way with the aim to support you through what can be a sensitive and difficult time. Some pregnancy options counsellors may advise against abortion because of their own beliefs, so it’s a good idea to ask questions over the phone before making an appointment.

Check out The Royal Women’s Hospital (VIC): Unplanned pregnancy options counselling fact sheet for a guideline on seeking all options counselling.
