Here’s some quick advice that may be helpful now:
THE DO’S
- Listen. This involves you and others. There's now three lives to consider.
- Try to be calm. She needs support from you especially now. While she's carrying the baby, you're both parents, and whatever happens in your relationship, the baby needs you also.
- Discuss it. With each other but also parents and those close to you. Keeping it from those who might be able to help will INCREASE your stress.
- Get the facts. Get all the info so you can make an informed choice, the one best for both of you.
- Be honest. It’s normal to feel angry, scared and more. But help her know she's not alone.
- Don’t leave. It can make it harder it becomes to think and make choices clearly.
- Don’t pressure her. Pressuring will only push her away, perhaps into a regretful situation. You'll do well to work together as a team.
- Don’t forget. You have a very active role in this situation. Listen to input as well as give your thoughts.
