Discovering an unexpected pregnancy is overwhelming, but when you find your partner is unsupportive, it’s even more stressful. We imagine it was a shock for you, so he’s probably surprised, too. Give him time to absorb the news. He may feel differently in time. If you need someone to talk to, we’re here for you. Contact us for no-cost support.
Determining Why Your Partner is Unsupportive
If you and your partner are in a committed relationship, finding out why he doesn’t support the pregnancy is essential. Are they concerned about the financial responsibility? Do they not want to be a father? Do they resent that the pregnancy will take attention away from them?
The most important thing is that you feel safe. No matter what others think, how you handle your pregnancy is your decision alone. Sometimes, an unsupportive partner leads to abuse. No one deserves physical or emotional abuse, and no one has the legal right to force you to make one choice over another.
If your partner is abusive because of your pregnancy, we encourage you to contact the National Domestic Hotline at 800-799-SAFE (7233). Research shows that abuse can often increase because of an unplanned pregnancy.
We are happy to talk with you and your partner about your pregnancy, or we can offer referrals for affordable, professional counseling. Now is the time to work through your concerns before you give birth.
Confirming Your Pregnancy
Did you know over one in four pregnancies end in a miscarriage? Experts estimate that 26% of all pregnancies end in a miscarriage, most within the first 12 weeks. Because it takes a woman’s body time to return to pre-pregnancy hormone levels, you could get a positive test result even though you’ve miscarried.
At Coweta Pregnancy Services, we offer no-cost, confidential pregnancy testing. Our tests are administered by advocates so you can be confident in their accuracy. If your test is positive, we provide a no-cost, confidential ultrasound.
A limited obstetrical ultrasound determines if your pregnancy is growing or if you have had a miscarriage. You will also find out how far along you are and if the location of your pregnancy is correct.
