If You Had a Teenage Daughter, and She Told You She is Pregnant...

Of course I would be. As a parent we might not like our childrens choices in life, but it is our job to be there for them and over unconditional love.

I have three teenage daughters at home. I would discourage any of them from having abortions.

I would because I dont believe in abortions. Also, if you arent supportive of her, all he** could break loose and she could end up doing something you wouldnt want her to. You're better off supporting her and helping her as much as you can.

I would punch myself in the face for not paying more attention to her.

I wouldn't be thrilled about it but ultimately she would have to make the decision of whether or not to keep it. Of course if she chooses to raise it herself she would have to stay in school and get a job after school to help support it.

I would be disappointed in the fact that my daughter got pregnant but in spite of the baby I would be supportive and help her through whichever decision they made. When I have kids I want them to be open and honest with me, I don't want them to keep things from me, I would rather have a daughter get pregnant than my teenage son to get pregnant.

YES SHE IS YOUR DAUGHTER AND U CAN T CHANGE BECAUSE SHE S PREGNANT ,U NEED TO BE THERE FOR HER IN EVERY WAY ,THIS IS A TIME SHE WILL NEED U, JUST MAKE SURE AFTEER THE BABY SHE CONTINUES SCHOOL AND GOES ON BUT ALSO KEEP IN MIND TO REMIND HER THIS IS HER RESPONSIBLITY

I would try to revive myself

I would be supportive of er in whatever decision she made and help her as much as I could without taking the responsibility on myself (of raising the baby) I know several teenage mothers and I am deeply saddened by thier lack of responsibility and care for their little ones, so I would also stress to my daughter that she will have this responsibility for the rest of her life if she chooses to keep it and that while I am willing to help so she can go to scool she will take care of her child. That means no parties or staying out all night or going to her girlfriends for sleep overs unless she takes the baby. (To sleep overs that is, paries is out of the question. Though if asked I would be willing to watch the baby so she could still get out every now and then) I would also inquire about the babys father. I would have a sit down with his parents so something could be arranged.

Well, I assume you mean a young single teenage daughter. Well, I would be supportive. Both me and my sister put our mum in this position. My mum wasn't too pleased about it but she would never have expected us to do anything but keep the baby. I would do the same. I would give all my support. I would also make sure the father of the baby is involved andgive him support as well. So many people seem to be horrible about their daughters boyfriends and seem to forgt that the girl had a part in the whole thing. Just because someone has got your daughter pregnant, doesn't make them a bad person. So I would definitely support all 3, mum, dad and baby. I would maybe even look after the child myself depending on exactly how old the girl was. But I would say that if she is mature enough to get pregnant then she is mature enough to look after the baby so I would encourage that too.

Well since there would be nothing I could do to change the fact that it happened, I would have to accept the fact that she's pregnant. I would sit down and talk to her about all the different options she would have and from there help her make the best choice for herself and not pressure her for making whatever choice. And then I would support what ever decission she had made. And i'm hoping it would all work out for the best.

well im a teenage daughter myself.. and 1st of all hehe if i was the mom i wouldnt encourage on such a situation.. and im a daughter myself.. i know that i wouldnt do such things to put myself in such situation!!! i mean its not easy.. its for life.. its not 1 year or 2 or 1 monthh or 2/. or few days and it will go away.. its baby then kid, then person, then bla bla.. its a real lifeeeeeeeee.. i think,, that the daughter is to be held responsible for her actions.. i know that i would support ofcourse.. who would leave their grandkids and their own kids on the street with nothing to support them? but there should have been better thinking from the daughter's side!

I was 17 when I got pregnant with my son and my mother wasnt exactly excited about it at first, but she was supportive and never turned her back on me. I will be the same way with my daughter.

I would be disappointed, because I hope that they wouldn't make that kind of mistake. If it happens though I would be supportive and make sure she finished school. I probably would not want her to get a job because I believe school is way to important and she would need to be able to be there for her child as well.

I supported both my daughters and now have lovely grandchildren to spoil. I talked through all the options with them and allowed them to chose what they wanted to do. I think they both made the right choice. My girls were both 18 so I don't know if they would still be classed as teenagers.

First of all I would see whether my daughter loves the father of the child or not and whether they are mature enough to support a child. Hitting her or scolding her will not give me any solution. If both are mature enough to take the responsibilty of a child then, I would get them married or else get an abortion done.

well i was a teenage mom (at 19) and was shaking in my boots when i had to tell my mom i was preggo, but i was out of high school and had a steady job, ended up marrying the guy. so everything worked out for the best =)

i could be sad for her..but i won't hate her anyway

My husband and I have already had this conversation, and our daughter is only 5 mos old! I would want her to get an abortion. Being a parent is not to be taken lightly. I would want her to be able to take advantage of as many opportunities as she could in her youth. I'm with the person who said I would punch myself for not paying attention. I would like to think one day if my daughter decides she is 'grown' enough to do the mambo she would come to us to take steps for birth control and protection from STDs. God pray every day already!

I have a pre-teen now and I always tell her to take care of herself. I discuss these matters with her openly because I believe that ignorance sometimes lead our children to making serious and impacting mistakes such as teenage pregnancy, abortion and such. Anyway, if worse comes to worst and she comes home one day dropping the bomb in my living room, I would extremely be upset, but it doesn't mean that I will stop being a support system to my daughter. More than ever, she would need me in her time of confusion and a solid, firm, understanding and loving family will do her a lot of good. As for the man who got her pregnant, I'll probably put more bolts on my door before that kid could even step a foot inside my house. Getting her pregnant doesn't mean gaining access to my daughter's bedroom, much more her life anytime he pleases to. I would allow time for him to grow up, get a degree, a decent job and become a decent man first before he could even touch my daughter. If that time comes and he has found another road to take (which is a road not leading to my daughter), then I will understand.
