01Full guided form
I’m pregnant—help me decide
Explore safety, pressure, accurate options, practical barriers, values and support.
You are hereOur perspective—stated plainly
We are life-affirming, not value-neutral.
Held With Hope believes women and developing life have dignity. We hope every woman can give continuing her pregnancy a real, supported chance—not because fear is used against her, but because fear is met with truthful information and practical care.
We will not shame you, disguise persuasion as clinical advice, or tell you that a quiz can decide. Your medical decisions remain yours.
Decision Companion
Eight questions. No score. One clearer next step.
This takes about five minutes. Nothing is sent, stored or added to an account. You may stop at any time, use Quick exit, or go directly to practical or professional support.
- Start with immediate safety and medical care
- Check whether pressure is affecting your freedom
- Notice which option or fact is still unclear
- Bring evidence together with your values and circumstances
- Leave with questions and actions shaped by your answers
Orient yourself
Three broad paths deserve accurate information.
This is a starting map, not a complete comparison or a recommendation. A qualified clinician and relevant service should explain what applies to your health, gestation and state or territory.
Continue and parent
Explore antenatal care, health considerations, partner or family support, housing, income, childcare, study and work. Ask what practical help is confirmed—not only promised.
Build a realistic support plan →Continue and consider adoption or other care
Learn about adoption, foster care, permanent care and kinship care from an appropriate Australian service. Ask about consent, legal steps, contact arrangements and emotional support.
Read the Australian options overview ↗Abortion
Ask a qualified provider about available methods, timing, what to expect, pain relief, possible complications, follow-up, costs and what symptoms need urgent care.

Shared decision-making, safety and practical care.
The flow adapts the four-part structure of the Ottawa Personal Decision Guide: clarify the decision, explore options, consider other people’s views and identify next steps. It also uses the Australian Ask Share Know questions and Pregnancy, Birth and Baby’s shared decision-making guidance.
Pregnancy options and medical language are checked against Pregnancy, Birth and Baby, Healthdirect and the RANZCOG decision aid. Pressure and safety prompts reflect 1800RESPECT’s reproductive-abuse guidance. We do not repeat unsupported medical claims, hide our values, or present a life-affirming service as neutral clinical counselling.

See their free-support overview ↗Know the boundary
The helpline is not medical, legal or emergency care and does not provide or refer for abortion. Ask a qualified clinician for medical advice and confirm services directly with the hub.
Medical timing can matter. A reflective exercise should never delay urgent care, prescribed follow-up or a conversation with a qualified clinician.
