How to Cope with Your Emotions When Considering an Abortion?

August 6, 2025

An unexpected pregnancy can bring many emotions that may feel confusing or difficult to manage. If you’re considering abortion, it’s natural to have questions and concerns. That’s why considering your mental and emotional well-being is essential in making a thoughtful and confident decision.

At Women’s Care Center, we’re here to walk alongside you. You don’t have to have all the answers right now, and that’s okay. Schedule an appointment today to learn how we’ll help you weigh your options. 

Here are a few ways to care for yourself emotionally as you weigh your options.

Acknowledge What You’re Feeling

It’s easy to get swept up in the urgency of the situation. However, recognizing your feelings can provide the perspective you’re searching for. You might try writing your thoughts down, walking in a quiet, peaceful place, or sharing your thoughts with someone you trust.

Emotions don’t always arrive in a way that feels convenient or helpful when trying to process your situation. You may feel different from one day to the next, and that’s completely normal. Giving those feelings a chance to be processed can help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface.

Give Yourself Time to Process

Feeling rushed can add to the pressure you’re already facing. It’s important to know that you have the right to explore your options and reflect on what’s best for you. No one else should decide for you, and no one has the right to pressure you into a particular choice.

Abortion is a serious medical decision with both physical and emotional considerations. You deserve space to learn, reflect, and come to a decision that feels right for you.
