What would you do if your teenaged daughter told you she was pregnant?

oh my God, I'm gonna go crazy. I cannot think of an answer to that. I don't even wanna think about it. I hope it won't happen to my daughter. But if it does, I cannot do anything but to accept it.

hi sender, well i am not a mother, but i have witnessed a lot of this incident around me with my friends and family. this one i will share is what i have seen from one of the family in our neighbourhood. her parents learned that she was pregnant but sadly instead of supporting and understanding her, her father had beaten her up and disowned her and the child. I was so shocked to learn about this as his father was popular in our community since her father was a head of an religious group. it made me think that how can a religious leader do such thing to his own daughter. Later i learned that the guy who got her pregnant came to talk with the parents and ask to let her stay there, and he will provide support, they agree but she was banded going to their church by her father and she was locked up by her father in the house. i never seen her for the whole 9 months she was pregnant. i saw her again after she has given birth. i can see how sad she was but we couldn't do anything for her but to pray. Now i heard she and her child is getting a better situation in life, the guy never came back to marry her but at least her fathers rage over the situation has subsided. To me, i don't think that hurting and punishing your daughter for what has happend will not change the fact that she is pregnant. i would never do that if it were my child. and i hope no more parents should do such thing if they found out that their daughter is pregnant, face reality and deal with it but never hurt the child specially she is already in her pregnancy stage.

Depends on was the little brat who got her pregnant in the first place. If it was someone worthy of approval, I'd rant about the timing but learn how to deal and live with it. If it was someone not proper, I'd probably slay the guy down, in the least :)

Well, after I get back up off floor, I would probably cry. At that point the damage is done, so I would just talk with her and set a plan for her life. I would help her raise the baby, but I wouldn't do it for her. I think that if they make the mistake of getting pregnant then it is their responsibility to take care of the baby.

sender621 if I had a teenaged daughter and if she were' pregnant I would find out all the details, and see that the father does his share to support my daughter and the' child she wou ld have. i would not be thrilled but I would love my daughter and her baby and stand by them in every way I could. I would surely not let her have an abortion and if she did not want to marry the father i would still see to it that he did pay child support. however this is all supposition for I have never had a teenaged daughter.But that is what I would do.

i'm not sure what i would do... i have a son. but i can tell you what my mom did. i had just graduated high school.. barely. that summer i was still living at home. i was unsure of what i wanted to do with my life. my mom had tried her hardest to steer me in the right directions but i was stubborn and was not listening. that summer i had to tell her that i was pregnant. i had known for quite sometime. she didn't say a word. i could tell by looking at her that she was dissappointed. but now my mother is a very strong woman. she always had been. thankfully she passed that strength on to me. she didn't say a word to me though for about three days. but she hugged me and took me to appointments and to work. then one day she simply asked, "do you feel it kick?" i said yes and she gently placed her hands on my belly. at that moment i knew that everythng would be ok and my mom was going to help me. she offered all the love and support in the world. we lived with her until i got things together. almost 5 years later i live a few states away from her and talk to her pretty much everyday. she is a wonderful grandmother and i know she will always be there for me. of course i know she had wished things had happened differently but now we have this wonderful little boy in our lives and no matter how bad things could have been.. they aren't. my mom was silent but supportive and strong. i thank her every day for that. thank you mom.

If my daughter told me that she was pregnant I would have to slow my heart rate down a tad, first and formost. Then I would calmy assure her that I loved her and everything will be okay. I would let her know what her options were and then discuss each at length, and I would let her make whatever decision she felt was right. I would then stand behind her every step of the way.
