crisis pregnancy
Unexpected, unwanted pregnancy
A crisis pregnancy is an unplanned or unwanted pregnancy that creates significant distress for the pregnant person—whether due to financial hardship, relationship circumstances, health concerns, or life timing.
The term appears in contexts ranging from supportive counseling to anti-abortion advocacy.
A crisis pregnancy center is typically a facility that discourages abortion, often by presenting alternatives or delaying decisions.
