An unplanned pregnancy comes with a lot of decisions, especially if you and your partner have decided to go through it together. We Care offers pregnancy support for men and women to go over your options and listen to any concerns and fears you may have.
You want to make the best decision to support your partner. There are many different factors for you both to think about as you take the next step in your relationship. Here are some things for you to think about as you weigh your options.
Informed decisions are the best decisions.
First, it is important to gather all the information you can so that you and your partner know all your options. Your partner may feel scared and overwhelmed, so helping her understand the situation better is important for you both to move forward in your decision- making.
When you’re stressed, it’s easy to make assumptions or let emotions drive decisions. Take time to understand all your options. Having accurate information helps both of you think more clearly about what comes next.
Talk to someone you and your partner trust.
Remember that it is important that your partner feels comfortable with anyone that is brought into the situation. Talk to someone who is going to be honest with both of you. However, if you do not feel supported, We Care hopes to provide a safe place for you and your partner to go to for support.
Being the support partner can be difficult and an unplanned pregnancy can affects both partners differently. Right now, you might feel like you need to have all the answers or be the rock for your partner. The truth is, asking for help isn’t weak – it’s smart. Getting support and information helps you both make decisions you can feel confident about.
You are capable of providing the support your partner needs.
If you are feeling stressed right now, it might help to remember that you are not the first guy to be in this position. In most cases, if you are willing to put in the time and effort, the reward of stepping up often will outweigh the difficulty in the long run.
Don’t forget, you don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be present.
There is help available to you and your partner.
We Care has pregnancy support for men and several different educational programs that can help make both of you more comfortable, at no cost to you. We offer support specifically for men by men who get what you’re going through in a safe space that is completely confidential.
