Reflect on What You Want to Share

Before you sit down with your family, take some time to think about what you want to say. How are you feeling about this pregnancy? What questions or concerns are weighing on your mind?

You don’t need to have everything figured out to have an honest conversation. Simply sharing your thoughts and emotions can help your family understand what you’re going through. Writing down your feelings ahead of time or practicing what you want to say can also help you feel calmer and more confident.

Prepare for a Variety of Reactions

Every family reacts differently to unexpected news. Some may respond with immediate support, while others might feel confused or emotional at first. That’s okay. Give them time to process what you’ve shared.

Remember, you’re allowed to set boundaries during these conversations. If the discussion becomes overwhelming, it’s perfectly fine to take a break and revisit it later. Your emotional well-being matters, and you deserve to be treated with kindness and respect.

If your family is open to it, consider exploring your options together. Sometimes, hearing about parenting support programs, community resources, or adoption services can give everyone a broader perspective.

Support Is Available

You don’t have to navigate this conversation on your own. Our team at Clara Women’s Center is here to listen and help you explore your options in a way that fits your unique situation.

We can connect you with local resources, answer your questions, and provide a space for you to process your feelings at your own pace. Whatever your circumstances, we’re here for you.

You’re Not Alone

No matter how your family responds, you are not alone. You deserve to feel supported, understood, and empowered to make the decisions that are right for you.
