Steps You Can Take

If your partner recently told you she’s pregnant, taking the following steps can help:

• • Confirm the pregnancy through medical-grade pregnancy testing and a follow-up ultrasound. We offer these services for free.
  • Know all you can about the available pregnancy options. Each choice will be life-changing, and you and your partner need to be as informed as possible about each option and ensure that all your questions are answered.
  • Support your partner. Your feelings and opinions about the pregnancy are valid, but it’s essential that you help your partner feel supported in this process. No matter what your partner is thinking about the pregnancy, let her know you’re there for her.
  • Don’t pressure your partner into a pregnancy decision. If you don’t agree with her pregnancy choice, that’s okay. But it’s ultimately her choice to make. If you two don’t agree, talking to a third party, like a counselor, can help you two determine how to move forward together in this process. We offer free options counseling to give you both medically accurate information about the pregnancy options that are available.
