It\u2019s a challenging choice that will impact your and your partner\u2019s future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your partner has been pressuring you into an abortion, but you are not sure, take a step back. It\u2019s essential to give yourself breathing room to think about your options, relationship with your partner, and goals for your life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only when you have space to consider every option can you make a decision with clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HOPE Pregnancy Center is here to help. <a href=\"https:\/\/hopepregnancycenters.org\/en\/make-an-appointment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>S<\/strong><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/hopepregnancycenters.org\/en\/make-an-appointment\/\"><strong>chedule<\/strong><\/a> a no-cost and confidential appointment today to verify your pregnancy with <a href=\"https:\/\/hopepregnancycenters.org\/services\/pregnancy-test\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">pregnancy testing<\/a> and an <a href=\"https:\/\/hopepregnancycenters.org\/services\/ultrasound-in-philadelphia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">ultrasound<\/a> and to talk with our caring staff about your situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Give Yourself Space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No one likes to be pressured into any decision. Even small decisions like where you will eat or what movie you will watch can bother you if you don\u2019t have a say.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, what to do about an unexpected pregnancy is a significant choice. Giving into someone else\u2019s pressure can lead to lasting consequences. Choosing for yourself is so critical for your future and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6207970\/#:~:text=In%20many%20cases%2C%20this%20may%20be%20due%20to%20feeling%20pressured%20into%20an%20abortion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>mental health<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by giving yourself time away from your partner. You may love and want to be with him long-term, but if he\u2019s pressuring you, you must find peace to consider your options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consider Every Option<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every woman, despite their circumstances, has three options:<a href=\"https:\/\/hopepregnancycenters.org\/abortion\/\"> abortion<\/a>, parenting, and adoption.<br>Granted, a choice like parenting may be easier for certain life situations, but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s impossible. Many organizations are available to provide support and help.<br>Situations can also change. Instead, focus on what you want for your future. Do you envision a child in the picture? Do you want to have a relationship with your child or not? Would you be comfortable with another family raising your child? What do you think about abortion?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try journaling about your thoughts and feelings. Writing them down on paper can help you release them from your mind and see where you stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Your Relationship Healthy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that love shouldn\u2019t hurt you mentally, emotionally, or physically. If you feel like your partner is showing controlling behaviors or you feel intimidated, this is unhealthy. You can seek help by reaching out to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehotline.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>National Domestic Abuse Hotline<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your relationship has been healthy up to this point, it could be that your partner has fears about the future. Talking with him about his thoughts and feelings and developing an understanding can help lessen the pressure and invite him to make the decision with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, at the end of the day, you are the one who is pregnant, so you have the final word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Choice Is Yours<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The choice is yours, and we are here to help you with no-cost pregnancy services and support. <a href=\"https:\/\/hopepregnancycenters.org\/en\/make-an-appointment\/\"><strong>Make an appointment<\/strong><\/a> today at HOPE Pregnancy Center.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will provide the services and information you need to consider every option.
