Unplanned Pregnancy
But we were being careful! I was on the pill. How could this happen? If you find yourself pregnant unexpectedly, you re likely anxious about the future. Couples who use birth control and still conceive face a situation that calls for thoughtful consideration. Perhaps you re secretly thrilled about the pregnancy but your spouse hates the idea; maybe you re alone and not ready to be a single mom; maybe you didn t want any more kids whatever the scenario, this new life is depending on you to make wise decisions. The next few months can be full of regret and remorse or they can be full of excitement and anticipation. Which will you choose?
