It’s wonderful to have someone to talk to without judgement. My life is different today because now I realize how much help and support is out there for me.

Centre Client

When you contact a pregnancy care centre, you will meet people who want to help. They offer compassionate support and accurate information on all three of your options: abortion, adoption, and parenting. You don’t have to face this alone.

Les centres de grossesse sont un endroit sûr pour trouver un soutien accueillant et des informations précises. Ces centres sont disponibles pour tous ceux qui vivent une grossesse inattendue.

Les centres offrent gratuitement des services personalisés incluant des tests de grossesse, de l’information sur les trois options (avortement, adoption et parentalité), un soutien continu, de même que des recommandations et de l’information concernant la communauté.

Le site web de Pregnancy Care Canada peut vous aider à trouver le centre d’aide à la grossesse le plus près de chez vous : pregnancycarecanada.ca/find-a-centre.

RESSOURCES:

Le Guide personnel d’aide à la décision (Ottawa) – peut aider les gens à prendre des décisions éclairées, à planifier les prochaines étapes, etc.

The Endowment for Human Development – des vidéos illustrant le développement du fœtus, un calendrier et un journal de grossesse, des applications mobiles gratuites, etc. (en anglais seulement)

We want you to know –

  • You don’t have to make this decision alone
  • It’s normal to feel everything you’ve been feeling, the good and the bad feelings
  • It’s ok to feel sad that things won’t ever be quite the same, but that doesn’t mean your life can’t be good
  • This doesn’t define who you are as a person
  • There are people who will help you and care about you
  • This may change your future, but it doesn’t have to limit it
  • No matter what you decide – you have value and you are loved
We’re here for you.

You can learn more about your pregnancy options in our Pregnancy Options Guide. 

In the boxes below, there are links for more support, depending on the type of help or information you need.
You can look to see if there is a pregnancy care centre near you to go and talk to someone in person. You can call or text the Option Line for 24/7 help. Or you can contact Online Care if there isn’t a pregnancy care centre close to where you live.
We understand an unexpected pregnancy can feel overwhelming. We believe it’s important to have accurate information on all of your options and that you have the time and the space to make the best decision for you. We hope the information here helps you to do that.

If you want to talk to someone about abortion or your other options, you can connect with someone through one of the boxes below.
