What would you do if your daughter told you she was pregnant?

If she’s a minor, I would encourage her to have an abortion.

Support her 100% with whatever decision she ends up making. But I will be 100% honest with her about motherhood, definitely would not make it out to be all sunshine and roses. Because it’s not. And I could not imagine it’s better as a teen.

That child would be welcomed and loved and I would make sure my daughter knew she didn’t have to fear about anything that we are family, and we will help her through it all.

Reassure her that she is always safe at home with me. Hold space for her to share her feelings about her pregnancy. Talk to her about all of her options and how much having a child forever changes the trajectory of your life. Support her choice.

Support her and let her know she is loved no matter what. However I know my husband and if this happens I’d probably end up divorced cuz he’d probably want to kick her out and disown her. I would never do that. My husband is from India he’s Hindu so he has strong feelings about how she should act.

Depends on the age but support her regardless. If she was old enough to drive and work I'd be more neutral, before that I'd be pushing abortion.

I'd sit her down and we'd have a very long and very honest conversation about all possibilities. I never want to kick my daughter out, I want her to know that she always has a safe and loving home to be at. That being said depending on her age, like if she was young, like middle school-early highschool, I would probably lean more towards abortion. But I would never push her into something she wouldn't want to do unless it was absolutely medically necessary.

Encourage abortion if she’s a minor, I don’t believe in children having children.

We would have a conversation on all her options and support which ever choice she makes, even if she changes her mind.🫶🏻

I don't have a daughter, but I'm never going to encourage my daughter to have an abortion nor to keep it. Rather, I will impower her to make her own choice with her body. And support any decision she would make.

If I had a daughter, I’d say I support her choice but I’m not her babysitter and go on from there.

I would provide her with all the Information possible about every option and I would support her decision 100%. If she decided to have the baby she would absolutely always be welcome to live in my home and we would support her and when the baby is old enough I would expect her to get a part time job to be able to save and support her child. I would also make sure she understood the gravity of motherhood and how even as a teenager your life is now being a mum. You cannot do what the other teens are doing because although I will support you as a grandparent I am not raising 100% another child. Abortion, adoption, birth, becoming a mother there is literally no decision she could make where I’d turn my back on her or be ashamed. She’s my baby after all and we all make mistakes ❤️

It really depends on the situation, but I would support my child. I hope that the partner that she has the child with is also supportive and a good person. I support the idea if both my kids don’t ever want to have a kid. But if they do, I want to help them as my parents and parents-in-law has helped me.

My LG is only 6 months atm, however, my approach would depend on how old she is. If she's under 18, I'd sit down and discuss her options with her and explain I would support her whatever she chooses to do. If she chose to keep the baby, I'd explain I'd support her but that she is their parent and the baby must be her priority alongside education. If over 18, I'd support her in the same way. A family friend got pregnant at 16,her parents didn't find out till she was 6 months pregnant (whole other story), and told her they would support her but would not be bringing up the baby for her so no more going out every Friday and Saturday night with her friends (they did babysit one night a month so she could see friends). Her daughter is now almost 20 and they are both doing great, and she has since had 2 more children with a new partner.

First, I would tell her that everything is going to be okay. Because it will. My daughter is 14, and she knows the options that are out there. I would make sure she knows that she has parents and grandparents that will help her with anything she needs. I was 16 when I was pregnant with her, and I'm so very lucky I had people behind me every step of the way. I wouldn't encourage keeping or aborting. That is a decision you have to make for yourself.

Talk to her about her options, whether that's termination, keeping the baby, adoption. But being realistic about what her life is gonna look like depending on her choices. I'd support her decision, I just would want her to make an informed one that she really thinks about he choices.

If she's under 18 I'd absolutely encourage her to have an abortion, but I wouldn't force her. I would make sure she is well aware of what having a baby means and how it would affect her life, and make it abundantly clear that I WOULD NOT be raising it for her!
