Challenge for the Guys: Approaching the Challenge of Pregnancy

Approaching the Challenge of Pregnancy

Are you in a relationship where your significant other has learned that she is expecting your first child or her first pregnancy? You may be feeling as if there is nothing you can do to be there for her. Maybe you feel like you cannot fully commit yourself in the situation, if your significant other likes to make her own choices. Or, perhaps it is your first time having a child and you do not know what to do. Maybe the idea of abortion has been thrown on the table and you do not know what to think about it. Perhaps you do not know what to say if she brings this idea up, especially if it is out of the blue. This is a tough topic to discuss. However, there are many ways men can help.  Giving honest answers helps. And it’s very important to ask her to share her thoughts. You two have a lot to discuss about the future!

A Challenge to Communicate

Take this as a positive challenge – you can help! Yes, the pregnancy is unexpected but working together you can thrive. Man’s competitive spirit empowers him to stand up for what he believes in and for the people he loves. Your partner may be hearing a lot of opinions, but your voice matters. Communicate your thoughts to her. While facing the unexpected pregnancy, you can look at this as a challenge to become a clearer communicator, as a chance to be there for your significant other.
