An unplanned pregnancy is stressful—but when you and your girlfriend don’t see eye to eye on what to do next, the pressure multiplies. Maybe she’s leaning one way and you’re leaning another. You feel torn, confused, even powerless.
Here’s the Truth:
Your voice matters in this situation. While the final decision is hers to make, your words, your presence, and your support shape how this moment plays out. The best way forward starts with clear, respectful communication—not silence, anger, or pressure.
Steps You Can Take
Listen without interrupting—let her know she’s heard.
Speak your heart honestly using “I feel…”
Respect her right to decide, but remind her she’s not walking through this alone.
Consider outside support like mentorship or counseling to process together.
Next Steps to Take
- Schedule a Medical Visit: Book an appointment with AWC as soon as possible to confirm the pregnancy with ultrasound.
- Attend Together: Both partners should go to the appointment to hear accurate information first-hand and show mutual support.
- Get Options and Resources: Ask the provider to review all available options, including continuing the pregnancy, adoption, and abortion, and to provide resources and answers to any questions.
