For Men

What Did She Say?

Who knew four little words could turn your life upside down? “I think I’m pregnant.” We imagine you’re in shock and feeling scared. What does it mean to you and for your future? We have a little advice:

What To Do:

• Verify the pregnancy first. If your partner “thinks” she’s pregnant, now’s the time to find out for sure. Don’t waste your time worrying and wondering. Come to the Pregnancy Help Center for free pregnancy testing and ultrasound to verify her pregnancy.
• Learn about your options. You have more than one, so find out what they are and what you need to do next.
• State your opinion. Although your partner makes the ultimate decision, it helps to know what you think.
• Get advice from men you trust.
• Support her. She’s as scared and confused as you are, probably more so. Let her know you are by her side.
• Keep the lines of communication open. You both need to express your frustration and anger.

What Not To Do

• Don’t run away. This pregnancy is your responsibility too.
• Don’t put pressure on her. Saying, “I’m okay with whatever you decide.” puts all the pressure on her, and no one wants that responsibility alone.
• Don’t shut down. Your opinion matters.
• Don’t rely on a home pregnancy test to provide the necessary information. Work with our medical professionals.
• Don’t panic. By scheduling a consultation with a member of our team, we can help you sort through your issues.
