Pregnant and Single

Overview

“Heavenly Father loves all of His children and shows mercy to each one regardless of their circumstances (see Exodus 20:6). He ‘is rich in mercy’ and will support us in our trials, troubles, and afflictions (see Ephesians 2:4; Alma 36:3). Being pregnant and unmarried can be a difficult time in a person’s life. Each individual experiences unique circumstances when faced with unwed pregnancy. In deciding how to proceed, remember that Heavenly Father will never abandon you or your child (see 1 Chronicles 28:20). He loves your child as much as, if not more than, you love the child, and He desires to help you both. He cares about and has a plan for both of you and He ‘will not leave you comfortless’ (John 14:18)” (Gospel Topics, “Unwed Pregnancy,” topics.ChurchofJesusChrist.org).
