Counselling
Experienced professional counsellors can help you in your decision-making about the unplanned pregnancy.
With the counsellor, your current situation and concerns can be addressed, and your options considered in an objective, non-judgemental setting. If appropriate you may want to bring your partner with you to counselling, to work through these issues together.
Depending on your decision, the counsellor will explain about pregnancy termination and contraception options. She will also explain about pensions and community services available, should you decide to continue the pregnancy. It is important to be able to make responsible and informed decisions about your body and reproductive health. At Preterm the staff are specially trained to help you reach these decisions.
You can see a counsellor prior to the termination, on the day of your appointment and/or for post-termination counselling and follow-up care.
