My Girlfriend is Pregnant: Now What?

She’s given you this big news and is weighing her options, but what do you do? You also have a choice to make, and you’re probably asking yourself a million questions like:

What are my responsibilities? How should I help? Does my opinion matter? Am I even capable of being a father?

That’s a lot to deal with. We get it. At PLL, we provide you both with all kinds of resources and information to help you make these decisions.

We have some quick tips to help you in the meantime.
