Being pregnant may be a huge shock for you. You may be feeling confused and worried. It may impact your job or future. Maybe you feel too young or you just can’t cope. Although you may feel pressure to make a decision quickly, it is helpful if you give yourself time to examine your deeper feelings.

The decision whether to keep your baby, have an abortion or adopt your baby out is a big decision that will impact your life.
We would encourage you to listen to your heart, and not to rush the decision as feelings can change one week to the next.
Ultimately, you are the one that will carry the consequences of your choice, so it’s important that you make the decision for yourself and not because someone else is pressuring you. If you are being coerced or pressured let us know, so we can help.
Decisions made under pressure or stress are seldom good decisions, so take the time to be really sure about what you decide. If in doubt, leave it out!
We can help you work through each option and the benefit’s/consequences, so you can be fully informed and make a decision that you will be happy with in the years to come.
Be aware that fear of the unknown can play a big part. Our natural tendency is to run from the hard things or the unknown. Fear makes us want to stop what is happening and go back to what we know. Don’t let fear rule you! Embrace change and get the support needed to navigate it.
It is good to be informed about the stage of the baby’s development to make the right choice for you. Our friendly staff provides information and material and are happy to answer the questions you may have. We are here for you, to discuss any concerns, and assist you in sorting out your way forward.

We have many satisfied and grateful clients. Some have said that their lives would not be the same without our being there, with and for them.
It was a difficult decision, but I decided to have a surgical abortion at around 10 weeks pregnant, which I felt was the best decision for me at this time. It was a heavy few weeks after the abortion but I’m doing better now. The grief comes in waves, but after our chats I felt more prepared to deal with and process it. I appreciate you so much for giving me so much information and support during this time. Your kindness will never be forgotten.
They are a fabulous bunch of ladies. I would recommend this place to anyone.
I am very thankful for the help and support of Pregnancy Choice as without them I would not be where I am today.
Hi Christina. Thank you for your message. Thank you for the support that you gave me during that hard time. I really appreciate the time you spent being there for me. I decided to go ahead with the termination. I am in the process of moving forward. I will pop into the PC centre if I need extra support. Again thank you to the organisation for being there.
I am thankful and proud to say that if it wasn’t for the help of Pregnancy Choice in examining my deeper feelings and giving me emotional support I would not have had the privilege to hold my baby girl. Being a mother at 17 has helped me better my life for the good
There are many ways you can help us with our mahi.
