If your daughter come to you and wants birth control what would you do?

Right now my daughter is only 10... I would hope this doesn't happen for years and years- : ) But my answer is and will be Of course! I would take her to planned parenthood or something similar. Tell her all about everything she needs to know. Be safe, be sure, don't be pressured. I would tell her how proud I am of her for coming to me- Which I hope she does at the time. Really have a heart to heart.. I would most definately get her birth control.. And explain that even the pill alone doesn't protect against disease.. I so hope this isn't for many years--- 8 or 10 : )

You are absolutely right and this is probably the absolute best way to deal with this. A good talking to before you get her the birth control is always best! It is better to have her tell you these things rather than sneaking behind your back right?

I think I agree with your suggestion coz I would do the same thing if I will ever feel in such situation.

Well, I would be proud that she is mature enough to come talk to me about the issue. If more girls in this day felt more comfortable coming to their moms with this issue, we might just see a curb in teenage pregnancy. I would talk to her about the issue and we would make an appointment for the Dr. and go from there. Oh! and by the way...my daughter did come to me about them, she's 23 and I am very proud to say I raised a very smart girl. :)

i am not yet father of any daughter, suppose i have a daughter, and she come to me for birth control, no doubt i will encourage her. in our country over population is the very big problems. through whice unemployment is growing countless in a year.

I would first make her understand complex structure of male and female body and then discuss the issue where she lacks the information. How much information does she have. I would like her to enlighten with the correct information and then resolve her querries.

I hope that I will have an open and honest relationship with my daughter. So that it won't be a surprise when she comes to me for something like that.

I should give it to her. WHy not. I prefer that she come with that question than come to home that she is pregnant.

That's a difficult decision. I guess some of it would depend on the age. If she is going to do it no matter what I say, then I would help get her birth control but I would let her know that I am not condoning it. I just want her to be safe.

In our country there are counselling bodies for it. If you can not tell everything clearly then consult the expert. You can also do it. It works differently. Try it.

No problem about that. It is even better that she has the boldness to voice out that to come to you with 3 months old pregnancy. I will give to her what demanded.

My daughter says she is going to wait until she is married. However, with the way the world is today - well you know. So if my daughter tells me that she wants birth control I would first talk to her. I would not just give here birth control. After talking to her, I would give her birth control. Especially, if I saw that she was going to go ahead and put herself in situations that might cause her to get pregnant. I hope my daughter does wait until she is married, but if she is not going to wait I want to talk to her first and not someone on the street including some boy.

I have a daughter and she says that she wants to wait until she is married. I think that is great. However, we are in the real world. So if she came to me and wants birth control I would first want to talk to her. I would not just jump up and get here birth control. After talking and looking at everything, if I saw that she was going to take part in situations that might get her pregnant then I would get her birth control. I would rather she come and we talk about it then to get pregnant and mess her life up. I hope my daughter waits until she is married, but if things change and I see she is not going to wait then we would have to take the necessary steps.

With both of my daughters (now 30 and 17) I sat down with them and we talked about their reasons, then I called and made an appointment with the Gynecologist for them and went along to the appointment. My older daughter is more adventurous, and went in on her own, but the younger one had me go in with her and hold her hand. Either way, I supported their decision and kept the lines of communication open to them.

I will make it sure that she understands everything...no stone left unturned...and I will be very careful in discussing her everything..

Well my daughter is only 11 1/2 so she wont be coming to me any time soon LOL but when the time comes we'll definately talk about it as I do with everything and then we'd go to our doc and see what she thinks about it...I have no worries about my daughter being sexually active any time soon (or my son for that matter) and I have no worries that they'll go behind my back or be careless simply because we do talk about these things openly and honestly

talk to her to make her become more mature. thats her life and let her choose.. ..

well it is a nice thing to do when you educate your daughter about certain aspect of life and which is the responsibility of the mother to take care,It would be nice to educate your daughter about birth control by doing that you get her better prepare to face the realities in life she will better know what life is and how to protect her self rather than living her to fall pray of unwanted circomstances.

I would first talk to her about it and see what's going on. I think it's dumb not to find out what's going through her head at the moment. After we had a long talk about it, I'd then schedule an appointment so we could visit a doctor so she could have the exam and get on the pill. After the the visit, I'd probably have another talk with her about what the pill will and won't do and the like so shes absolutely sure about what it can and cannot do.

I would have no problem taking her to the doctor for it. I might tell her that my opinion is that I don't think she is ready for it, but if she is going to do it then I want her to be protected. I would also remind her that "the pill" doesn't prevent AIDS and you can't tell someone is HIV positive by looking at them.
