An unexpected pregnancy can feel overwhelming, especially if people in your life are urging you toward a decision you’re not sure about. It’s natural for loved ones to share their opinions, but at the end of the day, the choice is yours.
At Azar House, we provide free and confidential services so you can consider your options in a safe, supportive space. Schedule your appointment today to learn more about how we can help you during this time.
First, know that pressure can take many forms. It might look like a partner insisting on abortion, parents worrying about your future, or friends telling you what they would do in your situation. While advice from others can often stem from good intentions, it can also feel overwhelming, especially if it doesn’t reflect your values or goals.
Recognizing when the opinions of others are crossing into pressure is the first step. You deserve the freedom to consider what’s best for you without feeling forced into a decision.
Setting boundaries protects your ability to think clearly and prioritize your own well-being. That might mean saying, “I need some time to think about this without outside input,” or sharing only what you feel comfortable discussing.
Boundaries don’t mean shutting out the people you care about; setting them allows you to consider your circumstances and process your feelings. Remember, this is your pregnancy, and only you can make the final decision.
Abortion, adoption, and parenting are the three options available during pregnancy. It’s important to weigh each one carefully and consider both the short-term and long-term effects.
No one else has the right to decide which option you should choose. Exploring each path with accurate information, free from outside pressure, can give you confidence as you move forward.
Sometimes, pressure can turn into coercion or even unsafe situations. If you ever feel like you’re in danger, help is available. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233) offers 24/7 support and resources.
Azar House is here for you if you’re not in an unsafe environment but still feel overwhelmed by opinions and expectations. Our caring team provides a confidential environment where you can talk about your pregnancy, learn more about your options, and find encouragement.
