You may experience many different emotions. You may feel happiness, excitement, and joy while at other times you might feel fearful, scared, or even trapped. It may be helpful at this time to recognize conflicting emotions and allow them to occur. During the first few days after finding out that you are pregnant you may experience denial. Support from a friend, family member, your partner or another trusted person is one of the best ways to work through your feelings.

There are several choices available and you have the right to choose the alternative that is best for you. Terminating the pregnancy is a third option.
