I am 15 years old and I have just found out that I am pregnant. I am not sure whether I want this baby or not. What should I do?

You have a number of options. You can continue with the pregnancy and either keep the child, or adopt it out. Or you can see a doctor about being referred for an abortion.

It can be difficult to make a decision on your own. It is a good idea to seek support for yourself and to find out information on the different options. Your friends, family, a counselor or an appropriate agency are all good sources of support and information. You can make an appointment to discuss your pregnancy with a Family Planning Clinic, Sexual Health Service, Pregnancy Centre or your own or any doctor.

Whatever you decide to do – you need to make contact with the above agencies now so that all of the options are available to you.

It is good to get support from your parents or another trusted adult.  But don’t let anyone persuade you to do something you do not want.
