Hearing that your partner might be pregnant can bring a flood of emotions—shock, confusion, or even fear. These reactions are normal, but what you do next is important. Your support can make a big difference in how you and your partner move forward together.
At FirstLook, we understand that an unexpected pregnancy impacts men, too. That’s why we offer no-cost and confidential services for both women and men. You don’t have to figure this out on your own. Contact us today to learn how we can help you navigate this unplanned pregnancy together.
Processing Your Own Emotions
Before you can be there for your partner, it helps to work through your feelings. Talking with a trusted friend, family member, or mentor may give you space to sort through your thoughts and concerns.
Taking the time to understand your own response shows your partner that you are taking the pregnancy and next steps seriously.
Supporting Her Through the Process
Your partner may be feeling uncertain, too. Simply being present can mean more than you realize.
Go with her to appointments, listen when she shares her thoughts, and offer to help with everyday needs. These small actions show her she’s not walking through this alone.
Learning About Options Together
One of the best things you can do is learn alongside her. At FirstLook Pregnancy Center, we provide information about parenting, adoption, and abortion so you both understand what each path could look like.
Having clear, reliable information helps you approach the decision-making process with confidence.
Taking the Next Step Together
You don’t have to have all the answers right away. FirstLook is here to walk with both of you, answer questions, and provide free services like pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, and options consultations.
Schedule your no-cost, confidential appointment today. Moving forward together with support can make all the difference.
