Below are a number of resources to support you during pregnancy and beyond, which we hope will be helpful to you.
We also call on the Government to do more for women in unplanned pregnancy, new mothers and their families. Much more work is needed in areas such as support for expectant mothers, bereavement care following pregnancy loss and perinatal death, homeless pregnant women, supports for pregnant women in education, mental health support and promotion of adoption.
Gianna Care is an organisation committed to providing compassionate support to anyone facing an unexpected pregnancy or in need of help after an abortion. Gianna Care aims to remove or at least minimise the barriers for women and their families preventing them from continuing their pregnancy and let a woman and her family know that abortion is not their only option. Gianna Care’s help is free and strictly confidential.
