When facing a pregnancy, especially one that you didn’t expect or comes at a challenging time, it can be tricky if your partner isn’t supportive. You might have expected them to be happy or to help you, but instead, you feel alone and unsure about what to do.

It's a situation that can make you feel sad and confused, but taking care of yourself is essential. Try to understand your partner's point of view and look for support from others to help you make the best choice for you. Remember, this is your decision.

Give Your Partner Time

They might be shocked if you've recently shared the news of an unexpected pregnancy with your partner. Feeling surprised is often the initial response to such news. It's crucial to allow them some time and space to come to terms with it, even if they seem unsupportive at the moment.

Should you ever feel unsafe or worried about how your partner reacts to your pregnancy, seek help immediately. The risk of violence can increase during pregnancy. Reach out to the National Domestic Violence Hotline for round-the-clock assistance and support.

Seek Advice From Others

Reach out to friends, family, and other loved ones. They can provide a listening ear, advice, and perhaps most importantly, a reminder that you're not alone. Sharing your feelings and fears with those who care for you can help ease the burden of making difficult decisions and navigating the path ahead.

Remember, seeking the love and support you deserve is okay, especially when faced with a significant life event.
