Supporting you on your pregnancy journey ...

Want to know about how we support women facing unexpected pregnancy journeys? Take a look at last month’s numbers and the difference that can be made when a woman has space to talk freely and get the right support for her…

April 2026

301

Free, fast access to skilled listening and counselling

In April, 301 people reached out to our Helpline, finding a place to talk safely and be heard. Whatever is going on for you around a pregnancy, past, present or future, we’re here to listen. 

SPOTLIGHT:

Of the women who shared what their main barrier to continuing a pregnancy was, 54% said it was managing a new baby as well as their existing children.

70% of the people we spoke to were feeling anxious or worried about the pregnancy.

20% of the women sharing wellbeing issues were living with domestic abuse or had suffered rape.

168

Mums and babies housed

During April, 168 mums and babies found a place of safety and sanctuary to live, who would otherwise be homeless, unsupported, or at risk.

1,381

Free pregnancy tests

In April, 1,381 women asked for a free, discreet pregnancy test. This enabled women to reach out early for support and find someone to walk with them on their pregnancy journey.
