About this web page
The first part of this website explores the choices that you have if you find out that you are pregnant. The second part looks at the help and support that is available if you decide to continue with your pregnancy. The website won’t be able to answer every question that you have but it should point you to the right place where you can find the information that you need. The website has been written with help from young mums, young people and a number of professionals.

All the organisations listed on this website offer a confidential service to young people even if you are under 16. This means that they will not tell your family, school, doctor, work or friends that you have visited or phoned them. They may sometimes suggest that they can help you more by sharing information about you to another service. But they will only do this if you give them permission to do so. You can say no. 

However, they may not keep your information confidential if by doing so, it could seriously put your health and well-being or that of someone else’s in danger. The organisation will usually discuss this with you first and tell you who they will contact and why.
