Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi Makeena, I am not a male, but have a 15 year old daughter, and hope to offer you some advice, from a mom's point of view.... I dont know you, or your mom, but I know if my daughter were to become pregnant, I would hope for two things - one, that she could come to me and tell me immediately so we could sit down and figure out what to do, and two, that she would have the ability to understand how incredibly difficult the upcoming times are going to be, and be prepared to make some tough decisions about what is best for her, her life, her body, and the pregnancy. I wont ask you if you intend on keeping the baby, that is a decision you need to make with your family and the father, but you will need all the support you can get during these difficult times ahead, and your family is the bedrock of that support unit. Your mom and you might not get along, I would guess that my daughter might say that from time to time, but if you are a typical teen, and she's a typical mom, she loves you more than you can possibly know and she will move heaven and earth to help you decide what is best for you in this situation. Please consider sitting both parents down, together, and just come out with it... there is no easy way to tell them, and sometimes a bandaid hurts less when it's pulled off quick and hard. Shocking, but done, and then you can begin working on a solution, together. That way your mom wont feel even more sad and upset that you couldn't tell her... I wish you the best of luck... :) A mom.
