My Partner is Pregnant
An unplanned pregnancy can be a huge shock to anyone. You may well be unsure how you feel yourself. You may feel at a loss about how to help, or as though you are not allowed to have an opinion as it is all happening in your partner’s body. However, it is unlikely she wants to make any decision without you being involved.
01
Talk Openly
Talking together openly and honestly about your thoughts and feelings. Sometimes couples pull apart when faced with a problem, but it is better for both of you if you can face it together. Do you know how your partner is feeling? It is important that she feels she can be open with you and that you can be open with her.
02
Seek Support
Seeking support and help as a couple. Something that might help you to communicate well with each other is seeking help as a couple. One way of doing this is by coming to TPAC together. We can give you information that you can then discuss, and we can answer any questions you may have.
03
Gather Information
We are here listen to you and help you both work through any concerns or questions that you may have. They can provide information about pregnancy, birth, abortion and adoption, and also have lots of information available about the support and help that’s available to parents in different circumstances. Our specially trained ultrasonographers can also offer your partner a free early ultrasound scan so you can both get a clearer idea of your child’s development.

Who can I talk to?
At TPAC we have a team of trained advisors. They will listen to you, they will not judge you, and they will not share what you tell them with anyone else (ask to see our confidentiality policy). Talking about your situation may help you see it more clearly and can be a good first step towards making decisions about the future. We can help you look at all the information available to you, answer your questions, and support you and your partner during pregnancy (and after).
