Becoming pregnant is often a scary time for a teenage girl. In most cases, teens do not plan to become pregnant. It just "happens." Unfortunately, it happens every day and has become a worldwide epidemic.

• Whether or not to keep the baby or give it up for adoption
• Knowing where you stand on the topic of abortion
• Who will be responsible for the child both physically and financially
• Will the father be involved in the child's care

It is not uncommon for parents to feel a sense of guilt when they learn of their teen's pregnancy

You tried to raise a responsible and level-headed girl, but now she is pregnant, and the burden is falling on you, the parents. It is also common to be embarrassed by your teen's pregnancy.

As the pregnancy progresses, she may be come elated at the fact that she will be a mother, while other times scared to death that she is carrying around a live human being. She needs you more than ever. Your communication with her is of utmost importance.
