How will you react if your teenage daughter get pregnant???

I really hope and pray that if I have a daughter, she will abstain until she is married. I realize this concept is lost on most people these days, but I have to say that my husband and I both waited until our wedding night...that's always been something that was really important to us. If she were to get pregnant, we would of course be supportive. I think the worst thing a partent could do is make her feel like a worthless person, and kick her out of the house! She obviously needs love, and help! I will love my children no matter what they become.

My parents were understanding when my sister got pregnant at 15. She got married and had another baby by the time she was 16. That sucked to see her go through hell and so far because of the horrible story behind it, all of my parents' grandkids are abstinent. I am hoping that my girls stay virgins until they are 50 but if it happens I will have to accept it. I don't want them to end up like my sister, or to struggle like I did when I started having kids in college. I guess I would have to suck it up and be a grandma.

I know it sounds hard but i would try to react in a sensible manner. Reacting harshly would not be good for me and my daughters relationship and also would not be good for her in her condition. I would make sure she was going to the doctor regularly. I would let it be her choice to keep or give it up for adoption. I would encourage her to keep it and to give her all of my support. I would make her get a part time job (just in the beginning of her pregnancy. I would make sure she notify the father and make sure that he is either helping her take care of the child or paying child support. Overall i would just be supportive and there for her.

I actually expect to get a call about this someday only because my daughter is only 16 and ran away because she didn't like the rules at school . We know where she is but we are not allowed to do anything about it because she says she doesn't like us ( actually she says she hates us ) . She figures she is old enough to make her own decisions and that if sleeping around is what she wants to do there is no way we can stop her , and so this is what she is doing . We last heard she had slept with an odler menatlly challenged person just because she wanted to . I know she is going to get herself in trouble and I don't know how I am going to respond . Right now her getting pregnant is the least of my worries as I am afraid something serious is going to happen to her . I love my daughter with all my heart but honestly after all she has done to us and believe me she has done a lot . I don't know what we would do if she ever came back home to tell us she was pregnant . We have other children to think about and she has hurt them really bad with her actions .

My daughter wasn't a teenager, she was 21 years old. I have been divorced since she was 6 months old. She is a single mother raising her 3 year old daughter and going to college now. It would not have mattered to me if she had been 15 or 21 I would have done the same thing. This little girl is the best thing that ever happended to us. Thank you God.

OMG!I will be really shocked to hear such an incident.It all depends on how the parents teach their children to grow with moral values.If the parents dont care for their children,then they will go on there own way.Good morals can make daughters aware of the teen pregnancies.Thank you

[i]Hi cecel, hhmm...that is tough! Anyway, as much as I can, I will always guide her in that early stage but if ever that will happen really! I will be upset for sure and talk to her and express my disappointment but i know in the long run, I will accept it wholeheartedly! So, I will support her all the way to finish her studies and be stable so she can also support her kid in the future![/i]

I was a teen pregnancy case. I was 17 about to graduate high school when i became pregnant. My mom said exactly what i would say to my daughter "honey, i'm here for you, whatever you need just call on me. But you have to realize your an adult now, and your going to be a mother. If you have questions or concerns or need a helping hand you can call on me, but you are now the mother and I am not." That pretty much covered it. I let my mother know i appreciated it, and she helped me out anyway that she could. I would not change anything and hopefully my daughter will not have a teen pregnancy, however, if she does i am still going to be there for her and support her no matter what she goes through. I will always be her mother.

Well first of all I'd be really surprised because I don't have a teenage daughter. But seriously, I'd give her a big hug and tell her that I love her and support her. And then I'd have a serious talk with her about her option.

I defenetly reacts because we in our home mainly thinks about the status in our relatives when it was known to our relatives it may get problem at last i will try to solve the problem by made marry with that person

Well, I got pregnant when I was 19 years old and had my daughter by the time I was 20 and my parents did not take my pregnancy well because they still see me as their little girl and still look at me as if I am 15 (I have not aged much) and I guess from that experience and considering the fact that I have a possibility of running into this situation because have a daughter and all I can say is that I would support my daughter the best way I could. It is a difficult situation but not impossible to accept.

it so embrassing to Answer but things are harder enough reaction has to be worth full to save her Life Better to arrange marriage to her Lover only

I am a Mother of a 15 year old teen Mother. I can not honestly tell you what I thought my reaction would be because I do not think any parent would. When that time came I cried like a baby, and when I found myself again, I embraced her with love. I gave her all the options she had and stood beside her. My Grandson is nine months today and I can not say enough how much love he has brought into our family. My daughter is home schooled and everyday she learns how to be a good Mother. My husband and I have custody of Little David because the downside to teen pregnancy is they can not financially take care of them.

If I had to hear that type of news when my daughter was teenage, I would have probably gone mad! Thanks God that she is married off without making this type of occurrence! This is of course a nightmarish experience for any parent, I think.

i cant figure out what i would do if i see my teenage daughter get pregnant.i am a single ,and always travel on the main road.if that happens to my future daughter____ i'd rather have a son if i can choose, i can only accept that.coz,i would still love her unconditionally. that great love makes me wanna help her,support her ,let her feel my love, and do the right thing.i would spare no effort to educate my daughter to avoid that scary issue when in her teenage.

Of course shock but we must know what the reason? I think first an important is to speak with our child. Allow them to voice their feelings and thoughts without judging. Listen to what they have to say. That problem is a job of parents and so as a parent to help when our child need it.

Wow, I really don't want to think of a situation like that. That would truely be horrible! But, ofcourse, if faced with something like that, I would undoubtedly be very very shocked and disappointed with my daughter and more so with myself. Where I live, getting pregnant outside of marriage is almost unheard of and very socially disagreeable. It's almost animalistic and gross. So I would be left reeling. I would also be very angry with the guy who got her into trouble also, and maybe I'd even force him to marry her, but it all depends. I hope I'd support and be there for her if anything of that sort happened. But I don't think I can.

well im not yet a parent but i have sister only one sister i think the best way is to guide them before it happens. try to to explain to them the consequences if they do wrong moves. As the teenager they exposed a lot of experimentations through out their growing years.now if it is inevitable to happen at least they will know their resposibilty. As a parent you dont need to be there all the time all you have to to do is guide them

In this day and age teenage pregnancy is so common. I would truly hope that my daughter would choose to remain abstinent until marriage. However, if she did get pregnant, I would be supportive of her and do everything I could to help her make the best, most informed decisions. I am totally 100% against abortion, so that would be the one option that I would never in a million years support. I would do my best to be the best grandma that I could possibly be. I found out that I was pregnant with my first child 2 days after I turned 18. My dad had a really hard time and was really upset about it. My step-mom was super cool and talked to him for me. She had her first baby at 16. She made him stop and look at that and helped him to realize that no matter how he felt there was a life on the way and I needed his love and support. My step-mom has been such a wonderful source of support and I would do the same thing for my daughter.

I will just accept it because you if I am a father/mother, I will be concentrate at my daughter attitude and behaviour. Question: Did she like to get pregnant? Yes she love free love? If no then this is not her fault. If Yes then sorry I can't be her parent because she will get pregnant again and again.
