For Men
She’s pregnant. What happens next?
Finding out about an unexpected pregnancy can bring a lot of questions for both of you. You may be unsure what to say, what to do, or how you can help. You do not have to have everything figured out right away.
What to do:
Start by listening. Give her the opportunity to tell you what she is thinking and feeling. You may have questions and concerns of your own, but keeping communication open can help both of you as you determine what comes next.
Learn more. Understanding the pregnancy and the options available can help you have better conversations and make informed decisions.
Be honest about what you are feeling. You may be scared, confused or uncertain too. It is okay to have questions.
Support her. Ask what she needs from you and let her know you are willing to listen. You can also come with her to an appointment if she would like you there.
