Well it has been a couple of months now since my family and I have been dealing with my sisters pregnancy. There has been a total change in her whole prespective on life and to be honest we are loving it! Thanks for all of the responses they really intruly help! Our main concern was that the father would run off and ruin things, but I glad to say that we were wrong! He is older, he went out and bought them a house as well as a car. They are gettin gmarried next weekend. Thanks again everyone!

If a teenager is not well-informed on pregnancy and preventative measures, then I would consider it an accident. At this point, all you can do is be supportive, and pray for the family and baby, if you are spiritual/religious. If you are immediately affected, you may want to seek expert advice, join a support-group ((others who are dealing with the same situation)) and research facts and information.

My niece (15) had a baby last year at first we were all disappointed but the whole family gave her all the support we could it was a hard pregnancy she was homebound and bed rest most the pregnancy which she hated not being able to do the things she was used to. she'll be scared,moody,and she will need your support thru the whole thing even after birth be there for her and it will be worth it I was in there when she delivered the baby and seen the love she had for her baby after it was born she may be only 15 but they have to learn to be mothers just like everyone else does whether they be 15 or 30 love conquers all. And when the baby is born you will be able to hold it and love it and accept and understand. Don't let a mistake ruin something beautiful a mothers love don't throw there mistakes in there face either that just causes problems hormones are raging right now and you have to be careful. if you go to church talk to your pastor he may help you come to a better understanding.

Whether you choose to accept it or not, it isn't going to change the situation. Right now, she needs all your love and support to get through her pregnancy and to raise this child.

I am not all for it and I think people should wait a little longer until they know what they are actually doing..But there are sometimes reasons for it WE don't understand like looking for love and assurance ... Be supportive and help as good as you can Be blessed
