Knowing what to do as you face an unexpected pregnancy with your partner is difficult. You are not only dealing with your own emotions, but also your partner’s. Know that you are not in this alone.
Our Bloom Pregnancy Help Center team can walk alongside you as you navigate the questions and concerns of an unexpected pregnancy, as well as the decisions you will make.
Process the News
Are you feeling the pressure? Your partner is or could be pregnant. Now what? Fear, confusion, and so many questions may fill your mind. Don’t lose your cool. Get the support you need today.
We can help. We understand how afraid you can feel right now. You and your partner are not alone in this journey. Like other men facing a similar situation, you may ask yourself questions like:
- What do we do now?
- How do we financially support a child?
- How do we tell our parents and friends?
- Have we discussed adoption, abortion, or parenting?
- What support does my partner need right now?
First, take the time to process the news yourself, and then explore how to be there for your partner during the decision-making process. If you need to, talk to someone you trust about all your questions and concerns about what’s next.
How Do I Support My Partner?
It’s imperative to support your partner at this time and to listen well. Try to be present and available for your partner whenever she needs you. You are in this together.
If you and your partner struggle to agree on what’s next, be informed about your options first and address any questions you have with one of our caring team members.
What’s Next?
First, your partner needs to verify her pregnancy test results. There is always a slight chance that an at-home pregnancy test is a false positive if done incorrectly or at the wrong time.
Be informed about all your pregnancy choices after confirming your partner’s pregnancy result with a free and confidential lab-grade pregnancy test and ultrasound.
We will walk alongside you as you navigate any questions or concerns and the decisions you will make. Additionally, we provide free and confidential services, including parenting classes, community referrals, and more.
Schedule an appointment today to learn what’s next. We are here to support you.
