As much as you wish those pregnancy symptoms would go away, they will not. You’re pregnant. You don’t want to be pregnant and you definitely weren’t planning to be pregnant in college. The thoughts invade- what will he say, what will he want me to do, what do I even want to do with this, and where do we go from here? These questions can be as stressful and scary as being pregnant itself.
You are not alone.
For many college students this seems like an impossible situation, but you aren’t the first to find themselves in this situation. Many others have been where you are. The biggest fear you probably have is how he will respond. Will he be angry and leave me? Will he listen and help me make a pregnancy decision? Will he support me through pregnancy or tell me to terminate the pregnancy right away?
A difficult conversation.
It will probably be one of the hardest conversations you’ll ever have with your boyfriend, but it is an important next step. Chances are your partner will share some of the same fears and questions you are feeling. You may find he is your best support.
