It is natural to feel overwhelmed, scared, and confused when faced with an unexpected pregnancy. The best thing to do first is to try to focus on the present and remember that you are not alone — there are resources available that can help you make the right decision for yourself and your future. Think about taking the time to talk with a trusted friend or loved one, talking with a qualified health care professional like a doctor or nurse-midwife, reaching out online for information or free hotline counseling which many pregnancy crisis centers offer, exploring all of your options - parenting, adoption - or getting advice on abortion techniques and safety concerns.  Remember that whatever you decide will be the best decision given the resources available at this present moment in time
