Pregnancy
If you are having sex or have been sexually assaulted (raped), you may become pregnant.
Taking a pregnancy test can be the first step to confirming that you are pregnant. There are several options available to you: have the baby and raise it; have the baby and put it up for adoption; or have an abortion.
Doctors, nurses, pharmacists, or staff at sexual health clinics can help answer your questions and discuss which options are best for you and your health. If you choose to carry on with the pregnancy, regular checkups are needed to care for your health and the health of your baby.

If you would like to talk about having an abortion, you can contact your physician, the Regina Women’s Health Centre (1-800-563-99923), the Prince Albert Sexual Health Clinic/Access Place (306-765-6544) or the Saskatoon Sexual Health Centre (306-244-7989 ).
Alcohol and Pregnancy
Drinking alcohol during pregnancy can affect your unborn baby, causing fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. No one knows for sure if it is safe for your developing baby to be exposed to any amount of alcohol. This means no amount of alcohol is known to be safe during pregnancy.

Cannabis and Pregnancy
Cannabis is also known as weed, marijuana, hashish, hash, and pot. There is no amount of cannabis that is known to be safe during pregnancy. For a woman who is pregnant, or who might become pregnant, not using cannabis is the safest choice. For more information on cannabis and pregnancy, click here.
