Are those closest to you pressuring you into an abortion decision as you face an unexpected pregnancy? If you’re feeling overwhelmed by friend’s and family’s opinions, it’s best to take time for yourself and create healthy boundaries.
We at Pregnancy Help Center of Galveston provide a non pressuring and safe environment to learn about all your pregnancy options. You are not alone, and you don’t have to succumb to the stresses of those around you. You have the ability to make a confident pregnancy decision for yourself and your future.
Take a Breather
Sometimes, other’s emotions can get the best of them, and out of fear, they can try to control your pregnancy situation. It doesn’t make it okay, and you may need to take a breather from being around them.
It’s important to take a moment to think for yourself after talking with certain friends and family pressuring you into abortion. Take time to process your emotions and find peace within yourself by:
- Journaling about your situation
- Alleviating stress with self-care (exercising, massage, etc.)
- Spending time with a trusted friend
- Watching your favorite show or movie
Find Someone You Can Trust
Don’t bear the weight of a pregnancy decision by yourself. It’s important to find someone you can confidently and safely confide in during an unexpected pregnancy. You deserve respect and kindness during this challenging time.
Talk about your options and ask tough questions to a friend or mentor you trust to gain clarity and feel heard. Confiding in someone is so important to understanding where your own heart is at and pinpointing what step you want to take next.
