Once your partner misses a period, everything can change — fast. While the final decision is hers, most women truly value their partner’s thoughts and support. Here are a few tips to help you navigate the decision-making process together.

​

Let her know how important she is to you. Avoid pressuring her into any decision, and don’t check out emotionally. Commit to exploring all your pregnancy options together and getting whatever support you both need to strengthen your relationship.

​

Start learning about pregnancy options —Abortion, Adoption and Parenting — and explore what kinds of help and resources might be available.

 

Show her you’re there for her every step of the way. A great place to start is offering to go with her to her pregnancy testing appointment.

​

Once the pregnancy is confirmed, continue exploring your options together. Communicate openly about your feelings, listen to hers, and consider which path may be the best fit for both of you as a couple.
