Find Emotional Support
You’re likely feeling alone and isolated right now, which is why it’s more important than ever to seek emotional support from trusted friends, family members, or a counselor.
These individuals can offer a listening ear, provide comfort, and help you navigate your feelings.
Support groups, both online and in-person, are another option that can enable you to connect with others who have faced similar challenges.
Explore Community Resources
You’re likely also feeling financially overwhelmed right now, but free or low-cost services, including counseling, healthcare, financial assistance, and parenting classes, are here to help you feel financially supported.
At Alabama Pregnancy Test Center, we can help connect you to these resources.
Communicate Openly with Your Partner
Even though your partner doesn’t support your pregnancy, it’s essential to attempt an open and honest conversation regarding your feelings and decisions. While your partner may disagree with your choice, expressing your perspective can sometimes lead to mutual understanding or at least a more respectful disagreement.
It’s also essential to think about the timing of your conversation. If you recently told your partner the pregnancy news, he may just need time to process his thoughts and feelings. Openly communicating your feelings will help him understand your perspective and also encourage him to see a perspective he hadn’t thought of before.
