I am 35 and I have been married for 17 years so I am not to old to have more kids.

Why would you include her in the loop on a very personal decision made by you and your husband?
This decision is entirely yours and his, not your daughter's. I cannot believe the nerve of kids today.
Let her know that it IS your decision, and please keep her opinions to herself about this. (And, you keep your personal business to yourself and your husband!)

She's your only child? You bet she'll be angry! She's been the only child all her life, and now she's a teenager and the center of the universe. A baby would throw her orbit out of control.
Is she the child of both of you, or is she from a previous relationship? Have you been married all her life, or is your marriage more recent? These will affect her reaction.
I don't suppose you could wait two or three years? Until she's an adult? That would be a lot easier. I'm concerned about your relationship with her. A baby is going to take a lot of time, you know. She knows it too.
Maybe my reaction is affected by the fact that the most turbulent years of my daughter's life were between 15 and 18. I'd think it's not the best time to make big changes.

My husband and I are foster parents and we have two children of our own a 17 year old girl and a 22 year old son and we recently fostered a little girl who was 7 months old and we had her for 6 months our daughter fell in love with her and was very upset when she was put back in her biological families home. We have talked about adopting a small child and our daughter is so excited about this. We are very proud of her for sharing love, I think it helped when she seen how mistreated some children are how lucky they were to be loved by someone even if it was only for a short time.Maybe try and explain how unfortunate some children are in this world and how you would be helping someone less fortunate.

It's up to you and your husband if you want to have more children, not your daughter. I have a 15 year old sister and she is a hormonal brat! She'll say/do anything to piss off my parents. Respecting your daughters opinion is important but it's your choice, not hers. Just sit her down and tell her how much you really want to have another child. Talk to her like an adult and if she still acts like that then just tell her you are the adult and it's up to you so she can either deal with it or continue to sulk.

mmm seems someone doesn't want to share the spotlight. But more importantly is your age at the pregnancy and risk to you. Forget her anger - she's 15 and will get over it (and will fall in love with the baby) It's an adjustment, but it's a family....

she should be old enough to accept it. she has had 15 years of attention, its not like she wont get anymore, just maybe not as much. Also since she is getting older you would think she would like having some sibblings cause maybe she could get away with more things :). Personally i dont think its a bad idea, plus its your choice, not hers.

she will just have to suck it up if u decide to have more children. just acting like a teenager.
however sit her down and ask why?
she might feel u would forget about her when the baby come.
