Unplanned pregnancy – supports available

Where can I get support for an unplanned pregnancy?

If you have an unplanned pregnancy, there are free confidential counselling and information services to help you consider your options and access services and supports.

My Options is a freephone helpline that provides counselling over the phone. It is provided by the Health Service Executive (HSE). If you would like face-to-face counselling, My Options can tell you where to get it for free.

My Options provides information and support on all your options if you have an unplanned pregnancy, including information on a range of continued pregnancy supports and on abortion services.

It can give you information about when you can get an abortion and where that service is available. You can also access post-abortion counselling and support from My Options, free of charge.

You can call the My Options helpline on Freephone 1800 828 010 or visit the website, myoptions.ie, for more information.
