If you think your girlfriend is pregnant, you probably have a lot of questions and concerns. You have not ruined the rest of your life at all, but you have changed your life and her life forever…and you have created a tremendous opportunity to demonstrate responsibility and maturity.

If your girlfriend is pregnant, you already are a father, right now. Knowing that, there are several things that you can do to help her, her family, and your child:

• Let your girlfriend know that you will be there for her.
• Offer to go with her to tell her parents the news.
• Research all of your options so that you and your girlfriend can make an informed decision.
• Avoid putting pressure on her to have a pregnancy termination.
• Work with your girlfriend to determine the best plan for her, for you, and for the baby.

The decisions you make today will affect you for the rest of your life. So, get the information that you and your girlfriend need. At Hope Connections PRC, we can help answer your questions and provide you with factual information so that you can make a good decision. All of our services are free and totally confidential.
