Confirming the Pregnancy
The first thing you need to do is find out if she is really pregnant and learn about your options. Aid to
Women provides free and confidential pregnancy tests and many other support services. Coming
with her to the pregnancy test appointment will show her that you care and support her.
Educating Yourself
The situation you are now facing has life-long consequences for you both. It is important for the two
of you to gather as much accurate information as possible. Aid to Women exists to help you both
come to an informed decision that will be best for you not just today but long-term as well.
Talking it Out
This is a big decision, and it's important to be open and honest with each other. Share what you're
feeling. It's normal to have feelings of anger, frustration, and fear, but make sure she knows that
you're there to support her. Running won't work. The more you avoid or deny the situation, the
harder it becomes to make an informed and healthy decision. Pressure doesn't help. Pressure will
only push her away and may push her to do something that you'll both regret. Remember that you
two are not alone. Prepare to talk with your parents and other people close to the situation. It may be
awkward, but they might be more helpful than you think. Aid to Women is here to help the two of
you sort through your feelings and questions so you can make the best decision for you both.
