At least half of all pregnancies are unplanned so it is very common. In one in five pregnancies the person will choose a termination. It can be a difficult choice to make and it can be a very emotional time. Talking to people you trust and making sure you have accurate information and support from a healthcare professional will help. All information and treatment is confidential whatever your age. This means that information cannot be shared with anyone else without your agreement.
