Practical Tips When You First Out She’s Pregnant
Once she’s missed a period, everything can change – fast. Working together and communicating can help you both during this process.
Here are a few steps after learning of the pregnancy, TOGETHER.
Make sure she’s pregnant. Contact First Choice for Women for a pregnancy test.
Learn about your options. She’s carrying the baby, but suddenly you are both parents. What does that mean for both of you?
Listen to her thoughts & feelings. What does she seem scared or nervous about? Is she excited?
Be open about your thoughts & feelings. Tell her how you are feeling and how you felt when she told you she has a missed period.
Let her know how important she is to you. Don’t pressure her about the pregnancy. Instead, commit to exploring your options together and getting whatever help you need to make your relationship strong.
