When you find out you are unexpectedly pregnant, many may feel confused and worried about the future. But if you decide to continue the pregnancy, there are options and resources available to you.
1. Seek financial and welfare assistance
If you are worried about expenses, you can access benefits that help ease the financial burden, such as:
- Prenatal care under the rights of the National Health Security Office or Social Security
- Newborn child support which can be requested from the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security
- Food and essential supplies assistance from organizations that support mothers and children
2. Seek counseling and emergency shelter
If you have no support, you can contact agencies that assist mothers with unplanned pregnancies, such as:
- Counseling centers that provide information about pregnancy, future planning, and health care
- Emergency shelters for mothers who need temporary accommodation during pregnancy
3. Adoption is another option
If you feel unprepared to care for the child yourself, you can choose adoption through legally authorized agencies.
- You can choose a foster family that has been screened to ensure the child receives good care
- Consult legal experts and organizations that oversee this process
4. Plan for the future after childbirth
- If you wish to continue your education, there are programs to support teenage mothers who want to study after childbirth
- Explore career opportunities and training for mothers who want to earn an income
- Seek advice from agencies that support single mothers
