Need help making a decision about an unplanned pregnancy? Reach out to a hotline in Goa, India.

Pregnancies that are unplanned 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 Goa, India:

• 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.

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.
