Question:
My sister got pregnant when she was 16 and it was hard for my mom to deal with but she got through it and it all worked out. My mom was also nervous to tell her mom and brothers and sisters and so on but after a few months she did and they all totally supported everything. Of course they were a little dissapointed and a little shocked but they understood everything. Everything willl be fine.
Answer:
Hi troubledmom. I am 20 years old, but I was 19 when I got pregnant. I am still pregnant, have not yet had the baby. I just wanted to tell you that you should not let her move out. My mom let me move out, and I wish I had stayed at home. She is 15, she's still a baby herself, as I know you feel also. How far along is she? And do you truley believe her boyfriend is going to support her? My boyfriend DID, until he found it to be an inconvenience to him. It's common for the boys to ditch their pregnant girlfriends. She's going to need you more than ever. Don't tell her how disappointed you are in her, although I know you have to feel a little bit that way. All I wanted my mother to do was hug me and tell me that everything was ok and that she supported me 100%. Instead, she yelled, screamed, about something I wasn't going to do anything about. I wanted my baby. Also discuss options with her, such as an open adoption. Just make sure she knows you are there for her.

Answer:
Hi there. I became pregnant at 20 and had my son at 21. I married my boyfriend (now husband) and luckily since he is career orriented (in dental school) and working on getting into oral surgery when he graduates we have been ok. It has still been really difficult and has put a strain on us at times. I wasn't planning on having children until I was at least 25 and felt like I had missed out on some of my youth since I had my son at 21. At least I had the college experience though. I couldn't IMAGINE doing it all at 15. What about adoption? This way your daughter could grow up and have a chance to live. The chances of her and boyfriend staying together and eventually getting married are slim. She is very young and most likely very immature. Not all 15 year old turn out to be great moms. I would say that is not the majority. She can still have her life if she gave her baby to a couple who could responsibly care for it. My sister in law is infertile and desperate to adopt. There is no shame in putting your baby up for adoption. Perhaps you could talk to her about it. What do you think?
Answer:
wow. I'm really glad to know that you're supporting your daughter. I don't think that you should care what people think of you or her. After all, its just opinions and you can prove to them that even though they may not like the fact that your daughter is pregnant, that she can be a good mother. Your gonna be a grandmother. Isn't that so exciting? I'm real happy to know that the baby's father is gonna be there for her. Some pregnant teens don't have that. Your daugther has an excellent support system. Good luck
Answer:
I can relate to you.....My daughter will be 15 in a couple of weeks and we have a beautiful 2 month old grandson. We were crushed when we found out(we actully found out before she did) I was a teen mom as well I was 15 when I had her and I thought that made things better. I talked to her and we had a very open relationship. she knew that I would do anything for her not to follow my steps. I told my mom right away, really didn't tell anyother family until we were ready. My daughter stayed with her boyfriend thoughout the pregnacy but in the last few weeks he started to relize that his freedom was gone and began leaving more. I would never let my daughter leave the house and move on her own, but my daughter is still inmature, and I do not like the boy. Who is now out of the picture. The baby is not completely healthy(has a tumor in his lung) and needs alot of cares. I am not sure what anyone will think of this on here but my husband and I will be adopting the baby. She tried really hard and loves him very much but it is just to hard for her to deal with. We told her in the beginning that we would adopt him if she wanted but she wanted to see if she could handle it.
Just know that everything happens for a reason and support her that is what she needs most right now is your love.
Good luck and if you ever need to talk to someone write me anytime
