When Your Partner Discovers She's Pregnant

Every unplanned pregnancy involves both partners. We want to help you understand your options and the role you play.

Discovering your girlfriend or partner is facing an unplanned pregnancy can create many questions and fears. Pregnancy is not just a women’s health issue. Understanding your role and responsibility is critical. That’s why we welcome you to come to the appointment with your girlfriend/partner to help you understand your choices and next steps.

You may be asking:

What are my rights?
How will this pregnancy affect me?
What if we have different views on what to do next?
Is abortion the best option?
What can I do if I don’t agree with the decision my girlfriend is making?

It’s easy to find help. Contact us, or call us at 301-963-6223 to make an appointment or just to talk.

You’re more than the results of a test. We promise: no shaming, no pressure, and no judgment.

Answers To Common Questions

Do I need an appointment?

Making an appointment is a great way to ensure that you can be seen at a time convenient for you. We do accept walk-ins, provided that a counselor is available.

At what point should I schedule an appointment?

We recommend you make an appointment if you think you are pregnant, have missed your period, or have pregnancy related questions.

What should I expect when I come in for my initial visit?

You will meet with a trained counselor to go over your information and a pregnancy test will be performed. With a positive pregnancy test, we can then set up an appointment for an ultrasound to confirm the pregnancy and its viability.

Is there a fee for your services?

All our services are provided free of charge.

What will I need to bring with me when I come in?

All you need is a photo ID.

Can I bring anyone with me?

We absolutely understand the comfort of bringing a loved one with you to your appointment. You’re welcome to bring your boyfriend, family member or friend with you.

What if my boyfriend or parent calls to see if I came in?

We adhere to a strict privacy and confidentiality policy. Clients will be protected from disclosure of information that violates their right to privacy except where required by law.

What others are saying about Shady Grove Pregnancy Center

"When I first went to the Shady Grove Pregnancy Center I was really nervous. But I found the counselors friendly and non-judgmental. They gave me all my options, even privacy to think about it. When I left they gave me some information and promised to call and check up on me. It was a very good experience and I would do it all over again."

Nosipho

"My partner and I met with one of the counselors at the Center - we were very lucky because instead of telling us what to do she helped us untangle the mess in our heads and come to a decision peacefully, in a safe, non-judgmental environment..."
