Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am pregnant without being married. My boyfriend cheated on me. I cannot contact him as he blocked me. I feel so ashamed to see my family. Until now, I never told them that I am pregnant. I want to die. I am mentally disturbed. What should I do now?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You do not need to die. Be bold and confident. Take a decision for your pregnancy/child. If you are not enough ready to take responsibility for your child, then go for medical abortion. You do not need to ask anyone for it. Take an appointment with your gynecologist. Talk to your close friend or any close family member. Do not be afraid to take help from a close one. It may be possible they may get angry at you but they will surely support you. Suicide is not a solution to your problem. Fight with your situation. Learn from this for a better future. Next time, use proper contraception or do not trust blindly. Every problem has a solution. We just have to work on it. Do not fear to talk. There is a beautiful life ahead to live. You have to talk and do. Take help from a gynecologist and meet her personally.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
