So you think she might
be pregnant. Here's some quick advice that may be of benefit to
you right now:
The Do's
- Listen. The situation involves more than
just you. There are now three lives to think about.
- Stay Calm. Freaking out will only magnify the negative.
You're not the first couple ever to be in this spot.
- Talk about it. Hiding the news from people who can genuinely
help
you only increases the stress.
The Don'ts
- Don't bail. The more you run from this, the harder it becomes
to think and act clearly.
- Don't pressure her. Applying pressure will only push her
away, possibly into a regretful situation. Both of you would
do well
to work as a team.
- Don't forget. You have a very active
role in this situation. Listen to input as well as give your
thoughts.
