I took a test yesterday and it was positive. I don't know what to do next. I don't have anyone I can talk too 🙁

That sounds hard. Did you plan this pregnancy? Are you considering whether to continue it? Do you have a relationship of any sorts with the other prospective parent?

@AtlasPine No it wasn't planned and I don't think I want to keep the baby I just don't know what to do next.

Hi, can you tell us a little more info so we can support you?
How old are you?
Do you know who to talk to for professional advice? You can contact your GP or 111 for further tests/scans to confirm, and they can advise you on the options available to you. They'll also give you time and comfort to make the decision.

Are you safe at home?

You can talk to us, no judgement x

If you think you might want to terminate your pregnancy, you can either go to your GP and ask for a referral for a termination, or you can go directly to BPAS or Marie Stopes. They can offer some counselling beforehand if you are unsure, and you can change your mind and walk away at any point up until you start the termination process.

Alternatively, you can just take a day or two to think things through and see how you feel. It's your choice and in your control.

Google the BPAS, British Pregnancy Advisory Service. Make an appointment and they will talk through your feelings and options. 💐

@TheDogHasCaughtAnotherBloodyFish thank you just looked but they don't have any clinics near me.

You can do it all over the phone. Just ring them up for a chat and they will be able to advise. They can also send you the pills needed to terminate if necessary.

It's a huge thing to have to deal with by yourself-please do try and talk to someone. You don't have to continue with the pregnancy if you don't want to of course but could it be a bit of a knee-jerk reaction? Talking it through with a counsellor could help clarify your own mind. Hand hold from me x

@Dustycloth

Do I need to type it twice or what?

TheDogHasCaughtAnotherBloodyFish · 05/08/2023 16:59

First part should have been bold too as it quotes the pp who needs to fuck off.

Not helpful. The OP has the right to choose what happens to her body.

INeedAnotherName · 05/08/2023 16:59

Vile post. Reported.

OP - Contact your GP, they will advise you.

Barely even half a page of replies and already a vile poster has derailed it.

OP, I hope you’re ok and can get the support you need.

Hummusanddipdip · 05/08/2023 17:11

I hope you're ok @user102098 the posters that have shared links for services and directed you to your gp and the ones to pay attention to.

I hope you get the support you need!
