My 17 year old daughter just told me she is pregnant. She is still in high school. I am still trying to process this information. I just have no idea what to do in this situation. I should, I gave birth to her at 17. I did ok. I had a good support system. I married her dad. We've been married 15 yrs. I went to college. I know it's all possible. But I wanted so much more for her. She had so much more potential...so much more going for her than I did. I thought I protected her more. She watched me go to college at 28, we had all the sex talks, she was on birth control. Her father and I have been so open about the struggle of being teen parents. She just has no idea what she's given up or the weight of the responsibility she will now carry. I have never regretted having her. She has been my greatest gift in life, but I would be lying if I didn't say there were so many nights I cried myself to sleep when I was younger. I hope she is strong enough to handle the changes to her body, the small town judgements, the late night feedings, school, and all the responsibilities that come with a child. She had so many plans for life, and she has no idea that most of those cant/won't happen now or at least will be significantly different. I am thankful the boy is a nice kid with a good family. I guess, I just needed to get this off my chest. But I have no idea how to mother her through this. I just had another baby myself. Being a grandma at 35 was not something I was planning for.
