West Midlands
Dealing with an unplanned pregnancy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. At OneMedicine, we offer compassionate, confidential support to help you explore your options and make informed decisions about your health and future. Our experienced team is here to provide the care and guidance you need, every step of the way.
Understanding unplanned pregnancy
An unplanned pregnancy occurs when a pregnancy happens unexpectedly, often as a result of contraceptive failure or unprotected sex. If you find yourself in this situation, it’s important to know that you have options, and there is support available to help you navigate your next steps.
Your options for an unplanned pregnancy
At OneMedicine, we believe that each individual should have access to clear, non-judgemental information to help them make the best decision for their circumstances. When facing an unplanned pregnancy, you typically have three main options:
- Continuing with the pregnancy
You may decide to continue the pregnancy and either raise the child or consider adoption. We can provide prenatal care, support, and guidance throughout your pregnancy and beyond, helping you manage both your physical and emotional health. - Termination (Abortion)
If you decide that termination is the right choice for you, we can refer you to appropriate services where safe and legal abortion care is provided. Our team will guide you through the process, explaining the options available, including medical or surgical termination, based on your stage of pregnancy and personal preference. - Adoption
For those considering adoption, we can provide information and referrals to agencies that can support you through the adoption process, helping you understand the legal and emotional aspects of this decision.
How we support you
- Confidential counselling: We offer non-judgemental, confidential counselling to help you understand your feelings and explore your options. We’ll give you the space to talk through your thoughts and feelings, so you can make the choice that’s right for you.
- Medical advice and care: Our medical team is here to provide you with accurate information about your pregnancy, including your health status and the options available to you. Whether you choose to continue the pregnancy or seek termination, we will ensure you receive the care and support you need.
- Follow-up support: After making your decision, we continue to provide follow-up care, whether that’s through prenatal support, post-termination care, or referrals to adoption agencies. We’re here for you throughout the process and beyond, ensuring your health and well-being remain a priority.
