First, know that no one can pressure you to make a specific pregnancy decision. This is your pregnancy, and you alone get to choose.
Depending on your relationship, you may wish to receive input from your partner. But feeling pressured or coerced into an abortion isn’t appropriate. You deserve to have accurate information about your options.
Seek Alternate Forms of Support
Your partner may pressure you to choose abortion because they are scared or anxious about an unplanned pregnancy. While this is understandable, they can’t decide for you.
Consider giving them the space they need to process their emotions. They may be willing to discuss this further. But if you don’t feel supported, there are other options.
Do You Feel Unsafe?
If your partner is abusive, know you deserve immediate assistance. Contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline for 24/7 help.
You deserve to have someone in your corner. Reach out to loved ones or friends who could offer support. Telling others about your pregnancy is a big step, but opening up to a trusted support person can make all the difference. The team at Grace Women’s Care Center can also help.
Weigh Your Options
Before making a pregnancy decision, confirm key pregnancy details with an ultrasound. This scan provides information on your pregnancy’s viability (if it’s progressing with a detectable heartbeat), gestational age (how far along you are in your pregnancy), and location (some pregnancies dangerously form outside the uterus). An ultrasound will help inform you of your options and protect your health.
Next, you’ll want to review all three pregnancy options: abortion, adoption, and parenting. You might have preconceived ideas about each, so getting the facts about each is vital. You can do this. Despite the situation, you’re stronger than you think.
