Helplines in China.

Unplanned pregnancy or distressed about your pregnancy? Find out about your options from a helpline in China.

If your pregnancy was unplanned or you're uncertain about it, you may be considering what to do next. Falling pregnant unexpectedly or having doubts is quite common but it can be experienced in different ways by different women. If you're battling with any of the following, help is available from one of 10 hotlines in China.

• Strong feelings of guilt and shame about wanting to end the pregnancy.
• Being concerned about how your choice may impact your mental health.
• Concerned about raising the baby as a single mother.
• Feeling indecisive and like there is no ideal solution.
• Feeling guilty for not having prevented the pregnancy.
• Feeling both positive and negative emotions at the thought of going through with the pregnancy.
• Concerns about your relationship and whether it'll survive if you go through with the pregnancy.
• Feeling alone, like you have nobody to turn to for advice or support.

Not every woman will respond to an unplanned pregnancy in the same way. Some women may feel devastated, while others may feel indifferent, and others feel happy – or a combination of all three. There's no shame in feeling the way you do, whatever that looks like.

With an unplanned pregnancy or uncertainty around your pregnancy, you may have a lot of questions. It can be tough to know where to turn to for support, especially if you're not ready to tell anyone. A helpline volunteer in China will offer you confidential and compassionate support that you can trust.
