What Can I Do if My Partner Doesn’t Support My Pregnancy?

Facing an unexpected pregnancy is difficult enough, but not having the support of your partner makes it worse. You don’t need the additional pressure and frustration. Ultimately, the decision about your pregnancy is yours and yours alone, but it helps to know others are standing beside you. Schedule an appointment with Lamb of God Maternity Home to see how we can help.

Your First Step

An unsupportive partner often determines that the easiest and quickest solution is an abortion, but they don’t have to deal with abortion’s side effects and potential physical and emotional risks. 

He may be concerned about finances or doesn’t want to be responsible for parenting. Whatever his reasons, you need to determine what is best for you and your child. 

You have two options: single parenting or making an adoption plan. To determine which one, ask the following questions:

When Considering Parenting

• If my partner doesn’t support me, will my parents?
• Can I finish school or continue my career while parenting?
• Can I financially support a child on my own?
• Where will we live?
• Who will help me physically and emotionally?
• Do I have the desire to parent?

When Considering Placing Your Child for Adoption

• Am I able to select my child’s adoptive family and meet them before giving birth?
• Can I receive no-cost assistance with my medical and hospital care?
• Will I have the opportunity to get to know my child after finalizing the adoption?
• Adoption seems emotionally challenging. Will I receive counseling?
• Who pays for the adoption’s legal expenses?
• Can I receive help with other pregnancy-related issues like rent, food, and utilities?
• Are there support groups I can join?
