Unexpected pregnancy affects men too.
You are not alone.
Finding out your partner is pregnant can bring a mix of emotions like fear, confusion, even panic. That’s normal. You’re facing a big change, but you don’t have to figure it out alone.
My partner is pregnant...
What can you do right now:
- Breathe. Give yourself a moment to process. You don’t need all the answers today.
- Talk to her. She’s likely feeling a lot too. Honest, open conversations will help you both. She needs to feel your support, not pressure or silence.
- Explore your options. Understanding all the options can bring clarity and confidence. Don’t rush a life-altering decision.
- Find support. You’re not the first guy to face this. Connecting with others who’ve been through this can help. We can connect you with men who can walk through this with you.

Considering Abortion?
I Want an Abortion
Abortion might seem like a way to erase the situation, but big decisions bring lasting changes. Know what abortion really is – physically, emotionally, and legally. Think beyond the moment – what does this choice mean long-term?
She Wants an Abortion
You’re unsure about abortion. Ask her why she’s considering it, listen, and validate her feelings. Remind her she’s not alone. She needs to know you’ve got her back no matter what.
Get the facts before making a decision. Schedule a free pre-abortion screening to learn about the pregnancy, procedures, and options.
What If I Don’t Want to Be With Her?
It’s okay to feel uncertain about your relationship, but this situation still requires careful thought and responsibility.
Even if you don’t want to stay together, you still have a role in this pregnancy. She is still facing a major life change. Offer support and don’t leave her to face this alone.
Consider how important a father is in this child’s life. You can learn to co-parent well. Take time to find out all the information you need. Your actions now define the future – yours, hers, and your child’s.
