| My DD who just turned 18 told me yesterday she is pregnant. I am so heartbroken with this child. I am not sure how to handle this. Anyone with same experience? |

| You handle it by taking her to an abortion clinic. |

| I’m so sorry, OP. |

| I’m sorry, that’s a tough situation. Is your daughter planning to proceed with the pregnancy? |

| How does she feel about it? |

+1 It's the best decision for everyone. |

| You ask her what she wants to do and you support her through that path. If she wants an abortion, drive her there. If she wants to keep the baby, help her while she gets a college degree. |

That’s what I would do. |

Agreed. |

| Then get her on birth control. Something long term, not the pill. |

| Make sure your teens are on bc people. Sheesh. |

I generally agree, but you can't make an 18 yr old really *do* anything as they are adults. |

| I was pregnant at 18. Had the abortion and navigated all the before during and after by myself. At least she is telling you and sees you as able to help support. |

| I doubt she told you because she needed a car to a clinic (if she did, obviously support her choice). It's going to be hard but if she wants this baby, it will become a blessing in all your lives. |

Don’t pressure her into an abortion!! Adoption is an option as well, and she might be really firm about wanting to keep the baby.
But if she does want to have an abortion, Carafem is amazing. I had such a good experience there with my abortion. It’s a beautiful facility, I scheduled online, everybody was so nice, and my insurance doesn’t cover abortion but it was only about 400-500 dollars. Sorry you guys are going through this. Above all, love your daughter. It’s harder for her, I’m sure. |
