Information for Pregnant Teenagers
Are you a teenager and think you might be pregnant? Or has it recently been confirmed that you are pregnant? If you have had sex and missed a period it is important that you find out whether or not you are pregnant as soon as possible.
You may feel confused, upset, shocked or dismayed. However you may feel you will need to consider the options open to you. Although you might find it hard to face, the sooner that you clarify the situation, the more choices will be available to you.
It is important that you share your problems with someone else, perhaps a close friend or relative. It may be, at first, that you feel you can't talk to your parents about it. If so, there are a number of people who can help and advise you. You may wish to discuss things with the Young People's Sexual Health Clinic, with your GP or with a counsellor.
Young peoples clinics are family planning clinics for people under 20.
