How Do I Support My Friend Experiencing An Unexpected Pregnancy?

An unexpected pregnancy can be a challenging time. Support from friends can make a huge difference.

As you consider what supporting her might look like, encourage your friend to verify her pregnancy. An at-home pregnancy test only tells her part of the story.

Our experienced medical team at Spero Medical will offer a medically verified pregnancy test  at no cost. We will confirm her pregnancy with a free ultrasound scan if the test is positive.

Your friend can contact us today to schedule a free appointment. You are welcome to come with her to provide your support.

What Else Can I Do To Support My Friend?

You can also support your friend in the following ways:

  • Let her know you will always be there for her. If she feels abandoned or unsupported, it could cause her to make a choice she would not otherwise make.
  • During the first few weeks of pregnancy, she might have no energy or feel sick. Offer to clean her house, watch her children, or run errands while she gets some rest.
  • Help her research places in the community that can be a resource for her. Spero Medical can assist with this.
  • If she chooses to parent, help her find parenting classes. Spero Medical offers a program that provides information on parenting and a way to earn baby items.
  • If her partner isn’t in the picture or won’t be able to accompany her, offer to attend medical appointments with her.
