She wants to know what you really think. When it comes to an unexpected pregnancy, many men say they will support the woman in whatever choice she wants to make. However, many women want to know what you really think and want to have an open dialogue about what to do next. It’s important that you are both involved and supportive throughout the process. Our friendly and compassionate staff can help you both communicate with each other in a healthy and productive way while discussing all your options.

My Girlfriend is Pregnant… Now What?!

Once she’s missed a period, everything can change—fast. Although she makes the final decision, most women really care what their partner thinks. Here are a few tips to help you make a decision you both agree on: 

 

  • Let her know how important she is to you. Don’t pressure her to make a decision or check out emotionally. Commit to exploring your options together and getting whatever help you need to strengthen your relationship.

 

  • 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, explore your pregnancy options together. Communicate openly about your feelings and consider which option might be best for you as a couple. 

 

  • Listen to her thoughts and feelings. Ask her about her hopes or fears regarding abortion, adoption, and parenting. It may also help to get advice from someone you both trust!
