For Guys

Have you recently heard those four little words no guy is prepared to hear? “I think I’m pregnant.” Who knew those four words could cause so much fear in the heart of a guy? If your partner recently said those words, we have some help and advice for you.

Your Opinion Matters

It is normal to feel overwhelmed and wonder what you are going to do. It is also okay to wish she was not pregnant. Reality is, however, she is pregnant and you are going to be a dad.

The woman in your life needs you to support her by talking and letting her know she has options. Both of you need to be comfortable with the final decision you make. We can help you. Give us a call!

What to Do Now

If you have suddenly learned you are a father, there are a number of things you should do.

• First of all, stay calm. Stick together in order to decide what to do next.
• Verify the pregnancy. Come to The Hope Clinic with her. Ask that she take a confidential pregnancy test free of charge to confirm the pregnancy.
• If the test is positive, she should have a limited ultrasound verification. The ultrasound will tell you if the pregnancy is viable (a heartbeat is detected) and how far along she is. Knowing the date of conception will help you both.
• Learn about your options. Our client advocates are available free of charge.
• Listen to her feelings and share yours. Ask each other some important questions. “Are we ready to be parents?” “How do you feel about abortion?” “Would you consider making an adoption plan?” The decision can seem overwhelming, but talking it through and coming to a mutual decision is best for everyone.
• Schedule an appointment at The Hope Clinic just to talk. Come by yourself if you would like. We want to help both of you.
