Hiding My Pregnancy: Would Abortion Be an Option?

If you’re thinking about keeping your pregnancy hidden, it’s important to reflect on what’s driving your decision. 

Are you worried about how your parents, partner, or family might react? Are you feeling afraid of potential judgment from friends, classmates, or coworkers? Or is there a safety concern in your relationship? (If safety is an issue, reach out to the National Domestic Violence Hotline, available 24/7 for support.)

These feelings are valid and understandable. However, while abortion might seem like the only solution, it won’t necessarily address the difficulties behind your decision. Exploring all your options can help you make a choice that feels right for you.

What Are Your Pregnancy Options?

Abortion is one possibility, but it’s not your only option. Parenting and adoption are paths that have their own challenges but are worth considering. They can offer possibilities that may feel more aligned with your personal goals and values.

When exploring your options, it’s crucial to think beyond the current pressures or fears influencing your decision. Circumstances that seem impossible today may change with time.

For example, family members or partners you’re worried about might turn out to be more supportive than you expect. Concerns about finances or education could ease as you connect with resources to help you achieve your goals.

Ask yourself this: If your current fears or challenges weren’t present, what decision would feel best for you? Taking the time to consider this question honestly can bring clarity to a foggy situation.
