• Feeling low and depressed.
• Anger directed toward yourself or your partner for the pregnancy.
• Feeling concerned about whether you and your partner/the father could co-parent.
• Feeling anxious about going through with the pregnancy and giving birth.
• Strong feelings of guilt and shame about wanting to end the pregnancy.

It's normal to feel many different, conflicting emotions as you figure out what to do next. It's just as normal to have made up your mind easily and to feel at peace with your choice. However you're feeling is valid.

Finding out you're pregnant when it wasn't planned or if you're having doubts about certain aspects can put you in a difficult position. If you're not ready to tell anyone about it, you may feel alone. However, helpine counselors and volunteers are available in Tanzania to offer a listening ear and zero-judgment support, no matter where you are in your decision-making process.
