You Deserve Support
Along with women, men deserve support during an unplanned pregnancy as well. You may feel overlooked or overwhelmed as you navigate this time. Know that your emotions are valid and you’re not alone.
You may be wondering how to begin digesting the pregnancy news and what to do next. Try your best to take it one day at a time and process the emotions coming your way.
Our male Care Coordinators are here for you. We can meet with you to help you move forward and have a support system as you help your partner.
How to Support Your Partner
Once you have a handle on your own journey and emotions, you can be a strength to your partner. Being there for your partner right now is so important. Try to be patient and offer empathy as you both process the news.
Some other ways to support your partner include:
- Staying present with her
- Having a listening ear
- Being a safe space for her to share her thoughts and fears
- Offering reminders to her that you are there for her no matter what
You Are Not Alone
You may be going back and forth with your partner about the pregnancy and seeking answers. Take some time to gather information and think through the impact of each option on both of your lives.
We can offer services to you both so your partner knows where her pregnancy stands, and you can receive information about her options.
Again, men need support along this journey as well. You don’t have to embark on it alone. Our team has time to meet with you separately and with your partner. If you’re considering parenting, we offer online classes as well.
