For Men

Once she’s missed a period, everything can change – fast. What happens next may be her decision, but most women value your opinion and want your support.
Here are a few steps to making the best choice for both of you – together.
1. Make sure she’s pregnant. Offer to go with her to the appointment.

2. Learn. She’s carrying the baby, but you are both parents. What does that mean?

3. Listen to her thoughts and feelings. What excites her? What does she fear?

4. Share your thoughts and feelings. If you aren’t sure how to start, say something like “when you told me your period was late, I felt ____, because ____. Now that I’ve had a little time to think about it, & hear what you are saying, I feel ____, because ____.” Consider talking with others who are close to you too.

5. Let her know how important she is to you. Don’t pressure her about the pregnancy or ignore the situation. Instead, commit to exploring your options together. Help her and you by getting whatever help you need to make your relationship better than ever.
