Pregnancy, planned or unplanned, can bring about many emotions, such as fear and anxiety. When you’re 40 weeks pregnant and scared of being a mom, it can be especially daunting as your due date draws nearer.

First and foremost, it's crucial to recognize that these emotions are totally normal. It's OK to feel this way, but it's also important to seek help and explore your options. That’s exactly what we are here for.

Here at our agency, we provide free, 24/7 counseling so that you can process these complex emotions at your own pace. Our trained counselors are here for you whenever you need someone to talk to, whether it’s 4 p.m. or even 4 a.m.

Being pregnant and scared can quickly get overwhelming, so we are always here to offer the support that you deserve.

Some additional resources you can use include:

• Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)
• Medicaid
• Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

Acknowledging your feelings is the first step toward ensuring your mental well-being. It's normal if you are pregnant and scared of your life changing, especially if parenthood wasn’t in the cards for you. Fortunately, there is another option available to you: adoption.

Adoption is a loving, heroic and selfless choice that gives your child a chance at the best life possible. Even if you’re not ready to become a parent yourself, you can still provide your baby with a loving environment and a family of your choosing. In fact, through open adoption, you can watch your child grow up firsthand and stay in touch with them for many years to come.

When you work with American Adoptions, we’ll be there to support you every step of the way.  As a full-service, national adoption agency, we can handle your entire adoption process from start to finish. If you’re pregnant but don’t want to be a mom, then adoption with our agency could be the perfect path for you. Contact us online to get more adoption information now.

When you contact American Adoptions, you'll receive our full-service support. Some of the benefits of working with us include:

• Post-placement guidance: Our support doesn't end after the adoption is complete. We offer post-placement counseling to help you navigate the emotions that can come after the adoption.
