You just found out that your girlfriend thinks she might be pregnant. As a guy, you may feel like you don’t want to, or need to, deal with this decision. That’s why we’re here.
She needs you but you may not know what to do. For example, we frequently hear men say they told their significant other, “I’ll support whatever you decide” thinking that’s what she wants to hear, but you may actually be communicating something completely different to her.
Here are a few steps to making the best choice for both of you – together.
- Make sure she’s pregnant by confirming the pregnancy with a medical-grade pregnancy test and ultrasound. Offer to go with her to the appointment.
- Listen to her thoughts & feelings and share yours.
- Assure her that she is not alone and that you will be there for her.
- Commit to exploring your options together and getting whatever help you need to make your relationship better than ever.
- Process what pregnancy means for you & her. Contact us to talk with someone who understands.
