Any advice for mom of a preg teen??

If you have any feelings of blame for your daughters predicament, don't! Teenagers have a mind of their own and a majority of the time, they do what they want. I'm in the same situation, my 16 yr old is 4 months pregnant. I know how you feel. I've gone through every emotion in these past 4 months and it's exhausting. The only thing left to do is accept what is happening and prepare your teen on becoming a parent. They are going to need all the support they can get. Especially with the encouragement to finish their education, which is very important. They need to realize that a human life is going to be dependant on them and they need to be able to support this child. I have tried to prepare my daughter as much as I can, including continuing to plan on her education in college ( which we had started before she became pregnant) Try to encourage her to keep going on with her life. Yes a pregnancy is going to be hard but education should also be a priority. Encourage her to finish school and love her. I'm pretty sure she's scared out of her wits. Good luck sweetie, hard times are ahead for all of us, but we know we can be the strongest when we need to be! Take care...Any advice for mom of a preg teen??
1)Support your daughter no matter what she chooses to do.


2)Don't put her down.


3)Be there for her.


4)It is her baby and her decision so no matter how much you disagree don't tell her what to do. If she wants to have it then support her 100%


5)tell your daughter to go to PLANNEDPARENTHOOD.ORG (great website that can help her out a lot. It tells you about pregnancy, being a parent, adoptions, abortions, the pros and cons of having a baby. (It has a lot of information)


Best of luck to you and your daughter :) She is going through a rough time in her life now. You have to be there for her and comfort her.Any advice for mom of a preg teen??
Well, she's going to be a mother now, so she has the responsibilities. Help her, of course, but try to keep your distance, as you would with her if she was a mother at a different age.


It's really all in her hands now -- all you can do is support in a grandmotherly role. It's her life -- you can suggest finishing her education, but you cannot force her too.


Mostly, don't make too much distinction due to her age, she is a mother like any other on this planet.


Congrats on being a grandmother!:))





P.s. You'll probably get better answers if you post a question on www.standupgirl.com.
I know it is really hard to cope with but the most important thing is to be supportive even though its really hard to do.
ok. don't be mad, but be concerned. don't pester her, but ask light, harmless questions. try to understand her, and most of all, support her if or even if she is not going to keep the baby.
ask her wheather she is going to keep it or not. Make sure that you are trying to give her the best chance in life and try to support and love your daughter no matter what choice she chooses.
wow.. I feel bad for you :(
too late to buy her condoms or the pill now...





just be supportive she will need you now more than ever. try to remember she is only human we all make mistakes at times. try to help her be positive and let her see it as a good thing not a disaster or ruining of her life
try to be as supportive as possible, not only is she going through teen emotions but those of a pregnant woman as well. keep her healthy, keep the lines of communication open, and don't lecture her on everything. she is going to want to appear that she is in control of her life and that of her child so just remember that this is her child. advice is OK but don't be demanding. get her pregnancy books so she can better educate herself.
sweet god my heart goes out to you!
be supportive this is the best thing you can do at this time because she needs you now more then ever before
tell her what she did was wrong, but since it's in the past no one can do anything about it. compassion is very important. she must be more emotional about it than you, remember that. just be there for her. i liked froggy_logic's answer.
don't stay mad, give ur support and love. mothers r d most influencial parents. they need u; don't turn ur back on them. let them know dat u love them. it's hard 2 deal w/ but b there 4 them.
Good luck!
