We’re Here For You, Too
You likely felt many emotions when your partner shared her pregnancy news. From shock to confusion to fear, these feelings can make you question what’s next.
Luckily, you don’t have to figure things out alone. Haven of Hope Pregnancy Services provides services and support tailored to your needs. We’re here to help.
What You Can Do
You may want to react immediately to your partner’s pregnancy news. However, remember that emotions can be high in these moments. It’s likely that your partner cares about your reaction and is worried about having adequate support.
Remember, your feelings are valid. Take a deep breath and give yourself time to process those feelings. Speaking with a trusted loved one or professional can help you sort through what you’re thinking.
After taking some time to consider your own emotions, you can revisit the conversation with your partner. It is critical for her to know that you’re doing this together and will support each other.
While it might feel easy to express any shock or fear you have, remember that your partner is the one who is pregnant and must make a decision. Now more than ever, you can be there for her as she confirms her pregnancy and discusses her options.
Attending her ultrasound appointment, having an options consultation together, and providing emotional support will ensure her that you’re here to stay. An unexpected pregnancy can feel challenging, but know that offering support can make a world of difference.
