Helplines in Iceland.

You can get help for an unplanned pregnancy or distress relating to a pregnancy from a helpline in Iceland.

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 1 hotlines in Iceland:

• Feeling anxious about going through with the pregnancy and giving birth.
• Feeling guilty about choosing abortion for moral or religious reasons.
• Concerns about your relationship and whether it'll survive if you go through with the pregnancy.
• Worried about how and whether you could raise a baby with the father.
• Feeling scared that your partner or your parents will reject you when they find out.
• Being concerned about whether you'd make a good parent.
• Strong feelings of guilt and shame about wanting to end the pregnancy.
• Anger directed toward yourself or your partner for the pregnancy.

When you experience an unplanned pregnancy or pregnancy with doubts, there's no "normal" way to feel or respond. Some women find it easy to make a choice. Others have a really hard time accepting what's happened and deciding what to do. Whatever your feelings are, know that they are valid.

Helpline staff in Iceland will provide you with accurate information about your options. You can take comfort in knowing that your concerns will be received with compassion and zero-judgement. Nobody will force you into making a choice that is not your own. Support is available before, during and after the decision-making process.
