You may not feel ready to be a dad—but right now, your girlfriend needs you to show up. Supporting her doesn’t mean you have to have all the answers. It means being present, willing to listen, and reminding her she’s not alone.
Making Pregnancy Decisions as a Team
When facing an unexpected pregnancy, remember: you both have a voice in this journey. The decision is not one-sided, but something you share and shape together. Open and honest communication is crucial; take time to listen to each other’s thoughts, feelings, and concerns, knowing that mutual understanding lays the foundation for good choices.
3 Ways You Can Step Up Right Now
- Show Up to Appointments – Even if you don’t know what questions to ask, just being there helps.
- Ask, Don’t Assume – Try: “What do you need from me right now?”
- Stay Informed Together – Learn about your options side by side at AWC. Understanding reduces fear.
Know Your Options
Learn about every option—continuing the pregnancy, adoption, or abortion—by seeking out professional guidance and reliable resources. Don’t let misconceptions or rumors guide you; facts matter, and accurate information will empower you both to decide with confidence.
