Your Story Matters
I feel alone. This is one of the most common things we hear from women at The Pregnancy Network. But nearly half of all pregnancies are unplanned—that means no woman walking this path is truly alone.
You may have chosen to parent, had an abortion, made an adoption plan, or suffered a miscarriage. No matter what you’ve been through, we want to hear—and share—your story. By sharing your story with others, you can help empower other women to face their unplanned pregnancies without fear, or grow toward healing.
In this bonus episode of “Pregnancy Has Entered the Chat,” Chloe introduces the Her Story Project. The Her Story Project is a safe space to share stories and create solidarity among women who have walked through an unplanned pregnancy. At The Pregnancy Network, one of the most common things we hear from women is that they feel alone. But nearly half of all pregnancies are unplanned—that means no woman walking this path is truly alone.

You have a story, and this is a safe space to tell it. If you have experienced an unplanned pregnancy, you can share your story anonymously. Join this community of women today by clicking the icon above.
