What would you do if your daughter is pregnant out of wedlock?

There are lots here in the US and the teenage mothers will either keep the baby, give them up for adoption or have an abortion depending on what that mother wants to do at any here pretty much. My husband sister she is 19 I don't consider that to much as being a teenager there are more a lot younger then herself being pregnant but she isn't married. That isn't really a big deal to me but to her mother and step dad and to one set of grandparents it is a big deal. You don't need to be married here to have a kid at all and to raise on either you don't need both parents. In the US a baby regardless of where they come from or how they come in to this world is mostly always accepted. At this point we are unsure if the father is going to be full part of my husband sister son's life or not. He hasn't really been there through out the pregnancy he wanted her to get and abortion but she didn't want to and he didn't accept and I don't think he still really accepts that he is having a baby any day now. My first nephew his parents got married a month before her was born that was there choice. Me as mother I could never force my daughter if she came home one day and told me as a teenager that she is pregnant. I would hope she either gives the baby up for adoption or keeps the baby. I don't support abortions but if that was what she wanted I can't tell her no as her mother once you get pregnant your body and that baby is your choice what to do with it.

hello Berting All I have to do is accept the fate Although, no parent ever wanted their daughter to be pregant out of wedlock, their is nothing you can do with the situation if the damage (pregnancy) is already done. This is tantamount of breaking a glass done either intentionally or accidentally which you cannot bring back to its original state once broken. However, it should be a lesson for both parents and the child for it not to be repeated.

If ever that will be the case then I will accept it because I believe every child is a blessing. If I will neglect her the more she will be dragged to a hopeless life and may result to abortion. I would just support her and teach her her lesson. It will not be easy but this is the best way I can do. After all, she is my daughter and nothing can change that.

yeah , i know some pregnant teenagers. we dont have anything to do but to accept it , it's a a blessing , a gift of life. .

ah, that is a big problem right there. anyway, the PH government has a program to help single mothers to raise their children. just proceed to the CSSDO and apply for the one's i mentioned, it has been aired in television specially in gma news tv.

my sister is a teen mother... she had her son when she was 17... my mom wanted to kill her but she knew that the baby need to be taken care of so she adopted him

Hi there. That problem in really rampant now to almost every country of the world. I myself knows a lot of those young moms...I have friends (close friends) who get pregnant before they get the age of 20. But most of them were responsible in taking care of their children even without a husband, even if their parents could not accept their mistake, even if people around them talk about them in very hurting words. These does not affect them on how they treat their child. Maybe this is a matter of personal (and inter personal) dealing they have for the said problem. And these sort of thing is no longer a big issue for almost everyone since it had became very common.

I will be disappointed but I will surely understand the plight of my daughter. If the boyfriend leaves her, it is his loss and not ours. We will be gaining an addition to the family who will bring endless fun and cheer. In this generation, having a baby born out of wedlock is no longer an issue. i just wish this would have been so during the time of my youth. I would not have married early because of a mistake. I have friends who have daughters that got pregnant out of wedlock and they are no longer ashamed of the fact. Either we have become more broadminded or we no longer have the moral values of the grandparents.

I'm really not sure what to do. Cause I have all the time to do it when I was still young but I didn't cause I'm thinking about my future. I just hope my daughter or even my son will do the same. But if this happens, I guess I'll just accept it. There's nothing more we can do since it already happened and abortion is not the answer either. I do know a lot of teenage girls who got pregnant. Most of them are from the family who said that I'll never be able to graduate at college cause I have a boyfriend and that I will get pregnant. Now it happened to their daughters and grand daughters. Karma it is :)

I would be disappointed at first, but then support what ever decision my daughter made. If she wanted to keep the baby, provided she showed steps towards responsibility, I would help her financially and physically with the baby until she got her life together. Throwing her out or scolding her wouldn't help. I am against abortion, but at the same time it would be my daughter's body and not mine.

Vyes but somtime no
