Finding Hope in an Unexpected Pregnancy
Each year, about six million women in the United States become pregnant. Of those pregnancies, nearly half – 45 percent – are unplanned. Most of the time, teenagers are the focus of such conversation, but many married adult women with children are surprised by unexpected pregnancies as well. They watch their youngest child enter elementary school, or their oldest graduate from high school, then discover they’re pregnant and starting over at stage one. They feel shocked, exhausted, and embarrassed.
