March 19, 2020

There are a lot of different emotions that each woman might feel when she gets a positive pregnancy test. If it wasn’t planned or you aren’t in the stage of life where you feel you can support a child, you might feel scared and overwhelmed. It’s difficult to know what to do in an unplanned pregnancy. Most women don’t expect the test to be positive in this situation, and when it is – many women are in shock. They might be thinking,

Is this real?

How can it be positive?

Is this really happening to me?

What am I going to do?

Who is an emotionally safe person for me to talk to?

These questions (and many more) might be racing through your head. It can feel lonely and isolating to find out this news. A lot of women also feel unsure about who they can talk to. If you feel overwhelmed, here are three things to think about right after you find out you’re pregnant.
