As mentioned in the other sections, the partner may consider your opinion when making a decision, but she does not need the partner’s consent to terminate the pregnancy.

If this is her decision and you wish to support her, here are a few guidelines:

• Before the appointment, prepare a bag with essential items: snacks and drinks, sanitary towels…
• Welcome and empathize with the emotions the decision brings up;
• Listen to your partner sympathetically and without judgment;
• Ask him what he needs to do next;
