Unplanned pregnancy

An unplanned pregnancy can bring many mixed emotions—surprise, worry, or even joy. It takes time to understand your options and get medical advice early. Hospital staff are always ready to support if you choose to continue your pregnancy, if you choose adoption or if you have other plans. You don’t have to go through it alone.

Quebec stated that an unplanned pregnancy can happen to any woman. If you are in this situation, you may be feeling shocked and emotional. Every woman reacts differently to learning she is pregnant.

You have three options when you become pregnant:

• continue with the pregnancy and become a parent;

• continue with the pregnancy and place the child for adoption;

• terminate the pregnancy (abortion).

Please always take time to reflect, think, and choose the best option for yourself.
