For Guys
What if she is pregnant?
It’s totally normal for the potential news of a pregnancy to send you into a bit of a spin. The “is this even real?” vibe can easily wash over you, and you may instinctively resort to retreating within yourself or acting out. If that’s where you’re at, it might be a good first move to say sorry. Once that’s done, you’re better positioned to explore what comes next, together.
Don’t freak out! This is an experience that plenty of guys have grappled with. Here’s a little survival guide to help you navigate through the roller coaster of emotions and thoughts you might be experiencing.
Common Symptoms
Think
Over the next few weeks, think about how pregnancy will affect both of you. What pregnancy options do you feel comfortable with?
Talk
Talk about your pregnancy options. This is not time to make quick decisions. After each time you talk, take a minute to yourself to sit down and process what was said. Doing this may bring more clarity to the options that you are choosing.
Listen
It is easy to focus on your feelings and desires, but this is not a time to think only of what you want. Listen to her. Her body is going through a multitude of changes physically, chemically, and emotionally. She needs your support now more than ever.
