For Men
You just found out your partner is pregnant, and you may be reeling from the news. It’s understandable. While an unplanned pregnancy is often considered just a woman’s issue, it impacts men too. Now is the time to get the answers you need.
It’s OK to be overwhelmed. No matter what your relationship is like now, you’re in this together. Once you have all the facts, then you can make an informed decision together.
Questions You Need Answered
As you process the news, you may have a lot of questions. Because she is overwhelmed, you may not want to ask certain questions. Are you wondering the following?
- What am I supposed to do now?
- Is she really pregnant?
- Am I really the father?
- How can I be of support to her?
Make an appointment at Metroplex Women’s Clinic for your partner to have a free laboratory-quality pregnancy test to confirm the pregnancy. In most cases, if the test is positive, a free ultrasound will be scheduled. An ultrasound will tell you if the pregnancy is continuing and how far along your partner is.
