Recollect Your Thoughts

It’s okay to take a step back from those around you after hearing their input about your pregnancy and your next steps. You may need time to digest what they said and how they offered their support in any way.

Feeling additional stress on top of the challenges of an unexpected pregnancy can be overwhelming. Give yourself time to process all the emotions coming at you. Journal, go for a run, enjoy your favorite hobby, and get much-needed space to consider what you want for your future.
