Do I Have to Tell My Partner I Want an Abortion?
Did you miss your period and wonder if you’re pregnant? If pregnancy wasn’t in your plans, abortion could have crossed your mind.
You may feel tempted to keep this secret to yourself. You don’t have to tell anyone, including your partner, but is that the best plan?
Before making any pregnancy choices, you should make sure that you are pregnant. Symptoms of pregnancy, even a missed period, can be signs of other health conditions.
Our experienced medical team at Options For Her can provide free pregnancy testing and an ultrasound. Contact us today to make a confidential appointment.
Do You Have to Tell Your Partner You Want an Abortion?
The simple answer is no. You can decide to keep all information about your pregnancy and the options you choose private.
However, you must decide if keeping the pregnancy to yourself is the best option for you and your relationship with your partner. Ask yourself the following questions:
1. How Important Is Your Relationship to You?
Sometimes, pregnancies occur during casual dating or without any type of commitment. In that case, continuing the relationship may not be important to you.
However, keeping this information from your partner could be harmful if you are in a serious relationship. It is difficult to keep a secret forever, and when the truth comes out, it could break the trust between you and your partner.
If you see a future with your partner, honesty matters, and it would be important to tell him your pregnancy news.
2. If Your Partner Shows Support, Would That Impact Your Decision?
You may be thinking that your partner would reject the pregnancy or force you into making a particular decision. Is there a chance they might be supportive instead?
If your partner says they will support your pregnancy, would you still want an abortion?
3. Is Your Partner Abusive?
If you don’t want to tell your partner about your pregnancy or possible abortion, is it because they are abusive?
If so, you need to get help, even if you are not pregnant. Please inform someone trustworthy in your life that the abuse is occurring.
If you are in fear for your safety, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline. Or, for immediate concerns, dial 911.

Pregnancy Testing
If you suspect you may be pregnant, you should speak with a trusted medical provider or pregnancy clinic. By discussing the best time to test and confirming your results with a quality pregnancy test and ultrasound, you can be sure of the results and begin planning your next step.
Ultrasound
Ultrasounds use high-frequency sound waves to receive information that can be seen as an image on a screen. Determine what choices you have with an ultrasound. An ultrasound will alert you of any possible complications. It is an important step of the pregnancy confirmation process, as it confirms three different aspects of your pregnancy.
