An unplanned pregnancy calls for lots of questions as you navigate this time with your partner. If your girlfriend is pregnant, what’s next? We can help you with advice and education with practical ways to move forward as you and your partner walk through this season together.
Get Support for Yourself
Men deserve support, too. It can be easy to be laser-focused on your girlfriend right now as she is the one experiencing the pregnancy. But it’s also important to work through your own emotions surrounding this unplanned pregnancy, as they can affect how you make decisions and do life.
Talk with a friend, family member, or mentor to talk through things to get them off your chest. Understanding where you are emotionally and confiding in someone can help you better navigate this time with your partner and better support her.
How Do You Support Your Partner?
Every day comes with new challenges, but it’s important to remain committed to the journey with your partner. She needs a listening ear and a place to be seen and heard. Here are a couple of steps to take as you navigate this time together:
Confirm Her Pregnancy Details
Before jumping into a pregnancy decision, pregnancy confirmation is vital for understanding what’s next and for safeguarding your partner’s health. After receiving a positive pregnancy test, an ultrasound is necessary to understand pregnancy details, including how far along your partner is and ruling out things like miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy.
At First Choice Georgia, we offer pregnancy services, including no-cost pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, and STI testing to get the answers you need.
Learn Your Options
Once you’ve confirmed your partner’s pregnancy, you will want to fully understand all your options. You and your partner may be considering your pregnancy options right now, and it’s important to understand the facts regarding your three options: abortion, adoption, and parenting.
We offer evidence-based education on all your pregnancy options and are a safe place for you to come and talk it out and get your pressing questions answered. We will never pressure you to make any decision.
No-Cost Support
It can be confusing to know how to find support as a man navigating this time with your partner. There are so many questions and concerns that come with pregnancy options and how to take care of your partner right now.
Our team at First Choice Georgia is here to help relieve some of the pressure. Our men will meet you at the First Choice Georgia Clinic for some Guy Talk, during which you will receive confidential support.
