Need help making a decision about a pregnancy? Reach out to a hotline in Ireland.

Unplanned pregnancies or uncertainties about pregnancy are more common than you may think. Being responsible for what happens next can feel overwhelming and isolating. If you're struggling with the following, there are 6 hotlines in Ireland you can contact for support.

  • Concerned about raising the baby as a single mother.
  • Experiencing a sense of urgency, like you need to make a decision as soon as possible.
  • Feeling regret like you made a big mistake.
  • Feeling unsure about the options that are available to you.
  • Feeling anxious about how your body and health will be affected depending on your choice.
  • Worried about how and whether you could raise a baby with the father.
  • Feeling unprepared to go through with the pregnancy and to raise a baby.
  • Feeling both positive and negative emotions at the thought of going through with the pregnancy.

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.

If you don't know what options are available to you, or if you're not sure what option is best, a helpline counselor in Ireland can guide and support you. A helpline counselor will listen to you without any judgment and will never guilt or manipulate you into choosing something you don't really want.
