I would probably freak out at first but then you have to rationalize the situation and discuss the option of her carrying the child to term and then giving it up for adoption. But no matter what she needs you right now. Please try to be there for her. But after she has the baby make sure she goes on birth control.

Pregnate? Anyways, if it was my 14 year old daughter I would make sure that she first of all had the baby, and realized what she did. Because I would make her finish school, and I would be the main caregiver for the child. Although, she wouldn't be totally out of responsiability. She would have to do her part and help raise the child. But that's basically just a baby having a baby. So, it would just mainly effect the life of her parents, and not so much her. Because she is too young to realize what she has done, and an inncoent child shouldn't have to suffer from her mistake.

I would give her a long talk, force her to have an abortion, and put her on birth control.
BUT, if I ever have daughters in the future, they will never get pregnant at such an early age because i'm going to talk to them about sex, and be open about everything. I will tell them about sex, pregnancy, etc. They will be sexually educated, smart, and will have safe sex. It's always the trailer trash, religious, uneducated girls who get pregnant so early because their parents don't talk to them about sex because the parents think it's inapropriate, so the girls go off and rebel against their parents and satisfy their curiousity.
By the way, it's PREGNANT, not "pregnate".

Love her just as much as you did before she was pregnant! Be there for her no matter what she decides to do now. I had three teenagers at one time and we all managed to survive. Don't despair! If the baby is kept it will be the greatest joy to you. Nothing is easy. Good luck and I would really like to get updates on how things are going. I've been there an done that.

I agree with Daschund_Daddy.
When I was done kicking her a$$, I'd tell her she and daddy better start saving up...it's really expensive. I would seriously never let her buy another fun thing like clothing, cd's, junk food again with my money. Time for her to start earning her keep since she's not afraid to make grown up decisions.
Support her emotionally, but don't bail her out. This is a life lesson, and not necessarily the worst one to learn.

Try to figure out what is best for her, her would-be child and
the family.
I would try make her aware of the issues surrounding having
or not having the baby and what lies ahead for bringing it up.
Depending on her understanding, I would either respect and
support her decisions, or carefully explain what we were doing
and why (which is to say, make some of the decisions myself).
I would not love her less.

i would be unhappy about the age and all but i know its hard but just be there for her thats what she will need, a mother to show her how to be a good mom.help guide her to do the right things,show her how to be responsible for her actions. be supportive but let her do it on her own. she needs to learn now. good luck and congratulations,you will enjoy being a grandma, even if you dont feel like it right now.PS dont go all crazy on the boy or his family cuz it wil only make things worse....they are now family, everyone just needs to work together to raise and love this baby.

well u cant change the fact that she is and it was wrong to do in the first place but if she was to she should of at least had protection. but i would just have to support her and be with her through it all throuh thick and thin. i am hoping that u arent refering to yourself being pregnant and u r scared to tell your mom cuz what she might do but the best thing is to tell her right away and just pray that it all works out.

I'd support her and try not to make her feel any worse than she already does. I'm sure she's feeling pretty badly about the whole thing, at least I hope so.
I'd try to help her make the important decisions about her future and the child's future.
