Steps To Take When She Tells You She is Pregnant


So you really love one another and in a passionate moment you had sex together to cement your love. Perhaps right now everything in your relationship is just perfect, things are going great at school or college and life looks pretty rosy. One day you get a text that she is desperate to see you and of course you feel great because it is so nice to feel special and so wanted. You love her so…

When you go and see her, a worried look on her face tells you something is wrong, seriously wrong. Your girlfriend tells you she is pregnant and your whole life seems to come crashing down around you. Next to breaking up, this is one of the most devastating sentences any young couple never wants to hear.

A child is not for a day or a month or a year it is FOREVER and a huge responsibly to bear for any young unmarried couple!!! You must collect your thoughts and think coolly!

Discuss it between your selves calmly after you have absorbed the shock.

The first step is to openly talk with each other about what you are going to do about your girlfriend being pregnant. Both your lives have now changed in a big way. Discuss how having a child will change your lives, your careers, your relationship. Do not place blame, because it is both your fault. Even if precautions were taken something like this can still happen. Forget about running away, abortion, or other drastic actions. Your girlfriend will need all the support she can get and your love and caring will be a huge relief rather than anger and blame.

Arrange a meeting with your parents

Get both parents; hers and yours together and tell them calmly what has happened. It does not matter what their initial reactions are going to be. After they have cooled off they will be able to make practical suggestions to you both on what the best solutions are going to be for the both of you.

Why not share YOUR story about what you did when you found out the girl you really love was pregnant with your baby. This advice will really help others.

My advice; before taking the big step in a relationship and going physical make sure to take sensible precautions which goes without saying…. Making love to each other is the ultimate commitment.
