Be Her Steady Support
Emotions are running high for both of you. The best thing you can do is stay calm and collected, allowing your partner to feel safe sharing her thoughts and concerns without fear of judgment.
Listen actively, offer support, and let her know that you’re in this together. Your steady presence will help her process the emotions she’s experiencing, making it easier for both of you to move forward. Being her support means being patient, empathetic, and fully engaged in the moment.
Get Informed About Options
There’s a lot to consider with an unexpected pregnancy, including options like abortion, adoption, or parenting. Take time to gather information and think through how each choice could impact your life.
Doing this can help your partner feel more supported, as she may not have the energy or focus to research all the details.
Remember, this decision doesn’t need to happen in one conversation. Take it step by step, having open discussions to explore what’s best for both of you.
