Although
pregnancy is usually a time of great joy and anticipation, an
unplanned pregnancy is often a time of crisis. A part of you may
be very excited about the new life you are carrying. At the same
time, you may feel confused, worried, anxious, and fearful about
what will happen in the future. You may even wonder if you will
ever be happy again.

An unplanned pregnancy is not the end of the
world for you. Thousands of young people have come through their
pregnancies wiser, more mature, more responsible, and more
compassionate. Although they never would have chosen this
experience, they have faced their pregnancies courageously and
learned much through them. They have gone on to lead happy,
meaningful lives. You will, too!
