An unplanned pregnancy may have caught you and your partner by surprise. Are you unsure how to process the news and what’s next?
You don’t have to figure this out all alone. Our team at Nest Pregnancy Care Center is here to walk with you.
Do you have the following questions about your current situation…
- What do we do now?
- Can I financially support a child?
- Is the baby really mine?
- How do we tell our parents?
- What about adoption, abortion, or parenting?
- What does she expect from me?
An unplanned pregnancy can bring up lots of questions and concerns. Navigate them with your partner to the best of your ability. It may shock you, but we’re here to help you tackle the big questions and offer no-cost support, too.
Talk to Someone You Trust
After hearing the news of your partner’s pregnancy, it can be difficult to work through your own emotions. Confide in a mentor or trusted friend to work through all of your feelings at the moment. Doing this step will make it easier for you to help your partner and make a pregnancy decision together.
Supporting Your Partner
Listening to your partner during this challenging time is critical to supporting her. Seek to understand her and use these tips:
- Being present in the conversation without distractions
- Making good eye contact to show interest
- Asking questions that encourage the speaker to go deeper
- Not passing judgment
- Not giving advice (unless the speaker asks for your feedback)
Support for Men
We’re here to support men as they face unplanned pregnancies. We offer free parenting classes (for men and women) if you choose to parent. We also provide mentorship with our trained men advocates.
You have another option other than parenting. Talk to us about placing your child for adoption. It could be the answer to your situation.
Talk to us today to find support and clarity along your unique journey.
