First of all, take a deep breath. Finding out you’re pregnant when you weren’t expecting it can feel overwhelming. Like your whole life just shifted in an instant. We get it—and I want you to know that you’re not alone in this. No matter what you’re feeling right now—scared, unsure, even numb—it’s okay. There are people and places ready to help you figure out your next step.
Step 1: Confirm the Pregnancy
Before you make any decisions, it’s important to confirm that you’re actually pregnant. Local pregnancy support centers, like the ones in the Florida Pregnancy Support Services Program, offer free pregnancy tests that are 100% confidential.

Once you’ve confirmed the pregnancy, you have options—and support to walk through each one with you.
