For Men
My Partner is Pregnant… Now What?!
Once she’s missed a period, everything can change—fast. Although she makes the final decision, what you think and how you respond can matter to her. Here are a few ways you can support her as you both consider what comes next:
- Let her know how important she is to you. Don’t pressure her to make a decision or check out emotionally. Let her know you’re willing to talk through the situation and explore the options together.
- Let her know you’re there for her each step of the way. Start by offering to go with her to her pregnancy testing appointment.
- Once the pregnancy has been confirmed, learn about the pregnancy options together. Communicate openly about your thoughts, concerns, and feelings as you consider what comes next.
- Listen to her thoughts and feelings. Ask about her hopes or concerns regarding abortion, adoption, and parenting. It may also help to talk with someone you both trust.
