You may have mixed emotions about your pregnancy, or your emotions may be very clear to you. Every woman's experience is unique and there's no right or wrong way to feel. Your choice is personal and it's a hundred percent yours.

Talking to someone about your experience can help you make sense of complex feelings. Helpline counselors and volunteers in Switzerland are trained to support people in an emotional crisis. They will offer a safe, judgement-free space for you to express yourself openly. They can also help you explore your options without pushing you in a certain direction.
