Helplines in Wales.

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

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 Wales:

• Feeling alone, like you have nobody to turn to for advice or support.
• Feeling anxious about how your body and health will be affected depending on your choice.
• A fear of being judged if you try to talk about the pregnancy and your options.
• Being concerned about whether you'd make a good parent.
• Strong feelings of guilt and shame about wanting to end the pregnancy.
• Feeling regret like you made a big mistake.
• Experiencing a sense of urgency, like you need to make a decision as soon as possible.
• Worried about how and whether you could raise a baby with the father.

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 Wales will offer you confidential and compassionate support that you can trust.
