Helplines in Burundi.

Contact a helpline in Burundi to get support for an unexpected or distressing pregnancy.

Pregnancies that are unplanned or have doubts attached to them happen almost as often as planned pregnancies. So while you may feel alone, what you're experiencing is quite common. If you relate to any of the following and you're not sure what to do next, contact one of 2 hotlines in Burundi:

• Feeling concerned about your financial situation if you go through with the pregnancy.
• Concerned about raising the baby as a single mother.
• Feeling regret like you made a big mistake.
• Feeling overwhelmed by all the options and having to make a decision.
• Being concerned about whether you'd make a good parent.
• Feeling anxious about how your body and health will be affected depending on your choice.
• Worried about how going through with the pregnancy will affect your future vision.
• Being in a state of shock or denial about the pregnancy.

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 Burundi 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.
