I Think I Am Pregnant

What should I do?

If you haven’t confirmed that you are pregnant you can do that easily by taking a pregnancy test.

You may want to talk to someone – perhaps a good friend. You may want to talk to someone who doesn’t know you and won’t tell anyone else. At TPAC our advisors are friendly, well trained and follow our confidentiality policy. You can make an appointment, just drop in, call our helpline, or email us.

How do I get help?

At TPAC our advisors are here for you to talk to. They’ll listen to you and help you work through any concerns or questions you may have. They can also give you information about pregnancy, birth, abortion and adoption. Our specially trained ultrasonographers can give you a free ultrasound scan so you can see your baby if you would like to.

Our advisors also have lots of information available about the support and help that’s available to mothers in different circumstances.

How can I tell my family I’m pregnant?

Telling your family that you are pregnant may be very difficult if the pregnancy is unplanned. This could be because you are still at school or college, you are unmarried or don’t have a partner, or perhaps you think they will feel your family is already big enough.

Many families are very supportive and will be a great help once they have come to terms with your news. But of course everyone’s situation is different. At TPAC our advisors can support you in telling your family; they can listen to your concerns, help you decide on the best way to tell them and support you however they respond to your news.
