Your choices
If you become pregnant you have three choices.
1. You can become a parent
This means you go through with the pregnancy and keep the baby.
You should think about:
2. You can have an abortion
An abortion stops your pregnancy.
An abortion is a small surgery that takes the embryo or foetus out of your uterus.
An embryo or foetus are the very early stages of a baby.
You need to talk to your doctor to have an abortion.
There are also different rules about getting an abortion for where you live.
Learn more about abortion on the Marie Stopes website.
3. You can give the baby up for adoption
Adoption is when parents decide to give their baby to a different family.
This is usually done through an adoption agency.
It can be very hard to adopt a child.
Learn more about adoption on the Adopt Change website.
