5.0 out of 5 stars Educate Yourself. Make a Plan. Take Action., April 8, 2005
What am I going to do? What is my family going to think? What will my boyfriend think? What will he do?

These are just a few of the many questions that might go through the mind of a teenage female (soon to be woman) that discovers that she is or might be pregnant. Unfortunately, if the test proves positive, her life as she knew it ends and those personal questions become extremely important. Not only will she be bombarded with emotional stress but financial stress to supply healthcare and support for a `new edition' to the world. Within such a short amount of time, a young woman is forced to make life-changing decisions at a time she is extremely emotional and least equipped to do so. What on Earth could lighten the load for a young woman who has suddenly found herself with this seemingly unbearable responsibility?

The answer to this question, in my opinion, is the following. "Educate yourself. Make a plan. Take action." Author Dorrie Williams-Wheeler has written "The Unplanned Pregnancy Book for Teens and College Students" for exactly this purpose.

"The Unplanned Pregnancy Book for Teens and College Students" is less than 120 pages, however, it is an encyclopedia of information. It could serve as the OnStar© for any young woman who has become lost in the wilderness of unplanned pregnancy. Its advice provides them something they don't always know they have-Options.

Confusion without hope becomes destruction. This book provides hope. Not only is it packed with information on adoption, safe haven laws, paternity testing, financial assistance and valuable phone numbers and web resources, it contains stories of young women who have been in the same situation. It contains stories, from young women who've been in those shoes, who were still able to forge ahead. These stories reassure young women that they are not alone and that they are not helpless.

In the spirit of the author, I believe I can say that no young woman wants to find herself in this situation. It is a situation that people wish not to discuss until they are faced with it. I will also go further to say that you might not need this book on your bookshelf...however, I would not necessarily recommend you buy this book for yourself. Those in need of it are probably not thinking "Is there a book out there for me?" Nevertheless, I guarantee you that within the last 5 years, or maybe even now, you've known a young woman who desperately needed this book. What these young women need is education and support and this book more than provides this for them. Buy it for them...because for them, it is essential reading.

Author, Dorrie Williams-Wheeler, holds a Masters of Science of Education degree from Southern Illinois University.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Resource, April 17, 2005
By The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers (RAWSISTAZ.com and BlackBookReviews.net) - See all my reviews
You suspect you're pregnant: you're young, in high school, college or the workforce. What is your next step, what does the future hold for you?
THE UNPLANNED PREGNANCY BOOK FOR TEENS AND COLLEGE STUDENTS by Dorrie Williams-Wheeler is the perfect stop to get advice and a sense of purpose.

Williams-Wheeler lays out a step-by-step guide, beginning with suspected pregnancy to confirmation and the road to follow throughout. Highlighted in great detail are the stages of pregnancy, assistance programs, childcare options, and expectations during prenatal care, breastfeeding and much more.

THE UNPLANNED PREGNANCY BOOK FOR TEENS AND COLLEGE STUDENTS is written in an easy to read language just for teens. Many resources are listed via the web, telephone contacts and reading material. She also offers encouragement for the future and showcases stories of young women faced with an unplanned pregnancy and their coping mechanisms. This is a great resource for young women who find themselves faced with the fact that they are pregnant, alone and fear the judgment and rejection of others. (RAW Rating: 4.5)

4.0 out of 5 stars Just the Facts, Ma'am, April 7, 2005
Williams-Wheeler's book is a plain English guide to everything a teen needs to know if they become pregnant. It encourages girls to educate themselves, decide on an option, and act without delay in a situation that could easily be paralyzing. It opens with how to determine whether you are pregnant, then moves to who to tell--and who not to.

The book is comprehensive, giving all the options for dealing with teen pregnancy, and a step-by-step guide through each. It also covers after-care for each option, then stresses preventing a subsequent pregnancy--from abstinence to all other forms of birth control. Each chapter contains stories from girls who have experienced pregnancy--from age 12 - 22. Some were heart-rending. I appreciate that Williams-Wheeler urges girls to continue their education and to take care of their bodies.

An excellent resource for a girl in a bad situation.
