5 Emotions You May Feel During Your Unplanned Pregnancy
- Anger: Rage can occur during this time. You may project it on others. You may be angry at yourself and your decisions. You may be very hard on yourself due to this unexpected pregnancy that you weren’t ready for or planned to happen.
- Sadness: You may be sad, which can lead to crying. You may feel this way because of guilt, anger, grief, and relief. You may be panicking and overwhelmed, not knowing what to do and how to process this adoption.
- Grief: Having to give up your child can be one of the reasons for feeling grief. You have suffered a loss, and you may feel guilt and responsibility. There may have been a negative stigma towards adoption that has you feeling regretful. You may be thinking that adoption is an easy out, that your desire not to have a child now or never is wrong. Metaphorically speaking, you are losing a child. It may feel like a death.
- Guilt: You may feel this emotion because you are not ready to have a child or see yourself as a mother. Guilt can be influenced by negative adoption stigma. You may feel like you are abandoning your child when you are really doing a selfless act of love.
- Relief: You may feel this emotion because you do not have to hold responsibility for a child you weren’t planning to have. Another reason is that you may feel relief because adoption is an option, and you are not ready to have a child now.
Any of these emotions can lead to depression and anxiety, which are normal. We offer free counseling that has no timeline. We want you to be able to receive help in processing, analyzing, and navigating your emotions. We have professionals you can trust to speak your mind and have no judgment. Going through adoption can be mentally and physically draining and difficult. We want to lessen the burden of the journey by providing healing options.
