Case Analysis:
Rosa is a 21-year-old Hispanic woman who is single, attends university and works part-time at CVS in the evenings. She is in her fourth year of studying Business Administration at DAB University, maintaining an impressive GPA of 4. Rosa resides with her biological parents. During her recent visit to our office, Rosa disclosed that she is pregnant and estimates that she is approximately three and a half months along. Rosa states that she has no prior history of medical or mental conditions, hospitalizations, substance abuse treatment, physical abuse, or sexual abuse. She came to our office voluntarily, expressing her anxiety and emotional turmoil about her unexpected pregnancy. Rosa said, “I discovered I was pregnant a month ago, which was completely unexpected. Since then, I’ve been overwhelmed with nerves; I can’t sleep, I cry constantly, I’ve lost my appetite, and I’ve lost about 10 pounds in the last two weeks. I haven’t mustered the courage to tell my parents about this; the thought terrifies me. I can’t bring myself to share that I’m pregnant because I fear it will greatly disappoint them.”
Rosa described changes in her partner, J, with whom she is pregnant. J has been avoiding her calls, distancing himself from her, and reducing the frequency of his visits. He has also stopped accompanying her to church on Saturdays. Rosa confided, “Ever since I informed him about my pregnancy, he has made it clear that he doesn’t want children. J believes we are not prepared for parenthood, and it was never part of his plans. He even suggested that terminating the pregnancy might be the best option.”
Through tears, Rosa continued, “I’ve heard that he’s been spending time with male and female friends, and he no longer responds to my calls or texts. He even blocked my email account. Although we haven’t openly discussed it, I have a sinking feeling that our relationship is coming to an end, and he won’t be there for me during this pregnancy. This realization has left me profoundly sad and alone, unsure of what steps to take.” Rosa is determined to “proceed with the pregnancy, confront the challenges it presents, take care of her future child, and complete her studies.”
As a Social Worker, you completed individual therapy sessions with Rosa and referred her to Group Therapy. Given her pronounced anxiety, mood fluctuations, and emotional distress related to her pregnancy and her partner’s reactions, it is recommended that Rosa join a “Perinatal Depression and Anxiety Support Group.” A licensed clinical Social Worker guides this group. The Group is dedicated to offering valuable support, guidance from mental health professionals, and the opportunity to connect with others facing similar challenges during their pregnancies.
