Pregnant Teenagers

Pregnant Teenagers  -  I read in an article that a group of teenagers made a pact to get pregnant and train the children together! Oh God!

Imagine such a bizarre agreement. What do these babies know about making babies?

What do they know about staying up late to breastfeed? What about taking care of an infant (normal infant) What do they know that can go wrong when an infant is sick? What financial care do they know is involved in taking care of babies. The question goes on and on..

How do you handle a pregnant teenage daughter?

Before the pregnancy

A parent owes a duty to educate a teenager especially girls of the how and wherefore's of getting pregnant. In our sex education talks, we should not skirt around the topic. (my mum told me that I should not allow 'boys' to 'touch' me)! I have since discovered that touch is a mere tip of the iceberg.

In our discussions with our teenage daughters, we should be discreet. While respecting that they will make individual choices, we need to let our teenage girls know that intimate sexual contact with the opposite sex can and most likely (if repeated) will, result in pregnancy. Educate them about preventive measures to take, if they decide to have sexual contacts with the opposite sex. Pregnant Teenagers
