First and foremost, don\u2019t panic.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Your upcoming decisions don\u2019t rely on your shoulders alone. You have a partner to navigate your next steps who needs you now more than ever. Look out for her both emotionally and physically. How? Check out our tips below.<\/p>\n Talk with her and LISTEN.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Ghosting her or leaving her on read isn\u2019t going to make this go away. In fact, it\u2019s going to make things a lot harder for the both of you. Have frequent open and honest conversations!<\/p>\n Talk with each of your important people.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Yeah, you may want to keep it a secret during the initial shock. But the people who will be directly involved (parents, guardians, etc.) HAVE to know what\u2019s going on eventually. Who knows, maybe they\u2019ll even be willing to help!<\/p>\n Educate yourself.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>How can you help if you don\u2019t even really know what\u2019s going on in her body? Learn about what is happening both to her body and to your baby with each trimester. Go to her parenting classes. Go to her birthing classes. Read a book. Listen to a podcast during your workout. The more informed you are, the less confusion you\u2019ll feel!Be honest with her and with yourself! This isn\u2019t the time to cover up your feelings. Scared? Say that! Anxious? Say that! Confused? Say that! Chances are, she is feeling all the same things and to know that you aren\u2019t alone in your feelings will be a huge relief.<\/p>\n Lastly, be there for her.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>In the big ways and the small ways. Let her know that no matter what happens, all decisions will be made as a team.<\/p>\n Our client advocates provide classes and individualized mentoring to help men build stability in their lives, regardless of whether they are fathers. These services focus on personal growth, life skills, and long\u2011term stability.<\/p>\n Our Fatherhood Program equips men with the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to become responsible, nurturing, and economically stable fathers. Participants are paired with a male client advocate and engage in one\u2011on\u2011one mentoring sessions.<\/p>\n Program topics include supporting a partner through pregnancy, developing effective parenting skills, and understanding the vital role fathers play in a child\u2019s life.<\/p>\nWhat to do:<\/h2>\n
