I would try to be as supportive as possible.

I have had that happen. My daughter became pregnant at 19. I kept my composure and asked her what she thought about this situation. I went over her options (abortion, adoption, keeping the baby) and let her decide.. (over a period of a week or so) We spoke often about her options and discussed everything including the bad and good points of each option. And even though i didn't want her to choose certain options I tried to keep a neutral attitude.. I told her it was her life, and her choices but I would support her in which one she made.
I now have a wonderful 2.5 year old grandson that lives with me and his mom.
It is her life but I am her mom.. I love my child and my grandchild.
There are many roads to chose from, I'm glad I am on this one though

Well, I'm not a parent or anything, but I know how upset they (the parents) would be. However, after that anger stage has passed, it's important to show the teen support. Believe me, society is hard on pregnant teens, they don't need that anymore (much less from their parents). I guess it all really depends on the situation. If you are financially stable to support a new baby, help the teen to raise it and show her support. If the situation isn't good, have the baby put up for adoption. DON'T ABORT.
I guess you just have to show the teen love and support. God bless you and great question.

Well my daughter is only 7 but my sister got pregnant at 15 and it was hard on everyone even the siblings. I would tell her that I was disappointed that she did take better precausions in protecting herself from this but now that it has happened that I would be there for her and let her decide what she wants to do. If the boyfriend is still involved I would let her decide if she wants to continue the relationship. If you try and push him away she will be upset with you and might leave and you wouldn't want that. She needs to learn from her mistake and needs you as her support.

There isn't much you can do,really.You have to find out who she has been sleeping with so as to establish who is the father.Then you have to decide whether you want her to keep the baby or whether you will have to get her to have an abortion,the latter option,only if you think it will blight her academic carrier and if you will not be able to cope with the pressure right now of bringing up your grandchild and if you look at the bigger picture but don't like what you see.She will need all the moral support she can get from you if you/or she decide she will keep the baby.There is no point crying over spilt milk.

Definitly be there for her, shes young and she needs your support and love. Everyone makes mistakes in life, but when it comes to this, she shouldn't be punished, its done and over with, and there is an innocent child on its way. Be a proud grandparent. My friends daugther was 14 and pregnant, her mother supported her the entire way, and made her support her child. Make her get an after school job, so she can save money to support her child. Let her know your going to support her with love and understanding but she needs to grow up and support her child financially but I would still be there for her if she needs it. As long as she trys to work and save money, then shes showing she is being responsible. Don't push her away, kids are active and this child will make her grow up fast, and she needs you there to guide her.

I'd be disappointed, but at the end of the day, I'd want to be able to support her. Pregnancy is hard enough without falling out with your mom over it.

I would take her to the abortion clinic immediately. If it's too late for that, I would immediately set up an appointment at the adoption agency.
After that, I would have a TOO LATE conversation about birth control and offer to put her on the pill.
