Finding out your girlfriend is pregnant (and it wasn’t planned) changes everything. What does this mean for your relationship and future?
You may wonder about what’s next or how you can help her. While you may not have all the answers, your support means more now than ever before.
However, you’re not on your own. Oasis Women’s Services in Artesia is here for you. You can both contact us to schedule a free, confidential appointment and talk with someone who understands what you’re going through.
Here are some tips to help you navigate this unplanned pregnancy.
Take Time to Process What You’re Feeling
It’s normal to experience a range of emotions, including shock, fear, frustration, or even disbelief. Give yourself permission to take a break from texting, seek quiet, and process this news. Acknowledging your feelings is important.
Talking things out with someone you trust or a trained professional can help you release tension and know how to share your heart with your partner.
Talk Honestly with Your Partner
After taking the time to process, have an open and honest conversation with your partner. Ask how she’s feeling and share your own emotions and thoughts.
Listening and communicating with compassion can help you both feel more united.
Even if you don’t agree on everything right now, your willingness to communicate calmly and respectfully will help both of you move forward together.
Learn About Your Options Together
You don’t have to make decisions immediately, but it’s wise to start learning about your options. Every pregnancy is different, and understanding what’s available can help your partner make an informed choice.
Encourage her to confirm the pregnancy with a medical-grade test and ultrasound. This will verify that the pregnancy is viable, determine how far along she is, and help her understand all available options. Oasis Women’s Services offers ultrasound scans at no cost, giving you both the facts you need in a supportive environment.
Be a Steady Source of Support
Your partner is likely feeling the physical and emotional weight of this news. The best thing you can do right now is to show her you’re in this together. Ask what she needs, whether that’s a ride to an appointment, help with daily tasks, or just someone to listen.
Your steady presence will mean more than you realize. Being there for her can strengthen your relationship and give her the confidence to face the future.
