For Men

We’re Here for You, Too

When a partner shares that she may be pregnant, many men experience a number of different thoughts and emotions. Some feel protective and want to be highly involved. Others feel anxious about the future, finances, or the stability of the relationship.

It is also common to feel uncertain about your role or how best to support her. Voice of Hope offers confidential support for men who want information and a place to discuss what they are experiencing.

Processing the News

Learning about a possible pregnancy can be a lot to take in. You may find yourself asking questions such as:

Has her pregnancy been confirmed?
What options are available?
What role will I have moving forward?
How can I support my partner right now?
What if I need support or want to speak to someone?

Taking time to gather information can help both of you decide what comes next.

Supporting Your Partner

One of the most meaningful ways to support your partner during an unexpected pregnancy is by being present and willing to listen. Pregnancy decisions can feel difficult to navigate, and many women want to know they are not facing the situation alone.

You can support her by:

Listening to her concerns and feelings
Encouraging her to receive a limited ultrasound to confirm her pregnancy
Attending appointments together if she is comfortable with that
Learning about available resources and support

Being involved in these steps can help both of you better understand the situation and the options available.
