What would you do if you found your teenage daughters positive pregnancy test?

confront her about it. if she lies and says its a freinds dont belive it. tell her that its okay that u just want her to stay health and ask her wat she wants to do keep it adoption abortion dont go against her at this point shes scared and unsure wat to do be more like a freind than a mom thats wat i wanted i had my daughter at 12 i am now 15 and have 4 kids. let her know your there for her always and u love her no matter wat my parents kicked me out and 14 after my son was bornWhat would you do if you found your teenage daughters positive pregnancy test?
I would remind myself that the results are only reliable for a few minutes, and that the result I saw was not necessarily the result my daughter saw when she took it.





Then I'd start a conversation with her by holding up the test and not saying a word until she did.What would you do if you found your teenage daughters positive pregnancy test?
Wow. First, let her explain. (It could be a friend's) If it's hers be supportive. Don't say things like ';You ruined your life.'; Ask her what she thinks she wants to do. Tell her you'll be there for her no matter what. As a mom, that's all you can do.
i would sit down have a long talk with her and then take her to the doctor. If she was pregnant, it cant be changed now.
Take it to her and confront her about it. What can you do?
First, I'd get my own feelings under control. I know my first reaction would be to freak, but that wouldn't help any. False positive from lying around or not, the fact that she had one, especially a used one, in her bathroom would be enough to concern me. Second, I'd schedule a mother-daughter time where we can be alone at home. I'd tell her matter-of-factly that I found a used pregnancy test in her bathroom trash, then let her take it from there. If she chose to be silent, I'd just sit with her until she said something. I'd be sure to point out that I wasn't judging her and I didn't hate her or anything, but I love her and am concerned about her and that I will support her no matter what.
Talk to her and be her friend about it. She is probably doing enough freaking out without her 'parents' adding to it. Talk to her about options. Let her know how you feel, but just be gentile.
You need to talk to her but without attacking her. You need to find out 1) if it's hers; 2) if it was positive right away or showed up after sitting around for a day or so; and 3) if she's sexually active and at least using some form of birth control.





But again...don't attack her. At 13, if she thinks you're accusing her instead of asking her she'll tell you the test isn't even hers and then refuse to talk to you about anything else. Make sure she understands that you're worried about her because she's pregnant or because she's sexually active at such a young age or because she's taken on her friend's problem instead of going to a parent or teacher. Work through the current situation and once everything is taken care of THEN if there needs to be some consequences you implement them. But not until after...right now you can't afford to do anythign to alienate your daughter.
Ouch!





I would calmly tell her that I found the test and that I was there for her to talk to and would support her whatever decision she makes.


Then I would try to get a few more details out of her (though not pushing her too much) - like if she's still with the father etc.





It would be easy to fly off the handle, but imagine how she's feeling.
Its more about what I would not do.
I think the question should be ';What should I have been doing to prevent my 12 year old from having sex at such a young age?';
you should know this, but if you found the test over 10 mins, it more than likely wasn't truly positive. really you'll never know unless you ask her. But don't go freaking out until you know the facts for sure.





just talk to her about it.
It is not healthy for a 12 year old to be pregnant. I would seek medical advice asap.
I would talk to her about it and find out her thoughts. I guess it would depend on how old a teenager if it becomes my business so that we're talking about adoption.
confront her and stand by her even if you are disappointed
well if it was me, id try not to get too angry at her as theres nothing that can be done now the damage is already done and theres no point lecturing her about contraception its a bit late for that and she will learn how important it is from this. id obviously be upset but i'd let myself calm down a bit before sitting my daughter down to talk about it. id tell her that i found the test and that im not angry, she can talk to me about it. id talk to my daughter about all her options (keeping it, abortion, adoption etc) and give her advice on what to do depending on the situation and id offer her my support no matter what she decides, its her decision after all.
You need to sit down and talk to her about it. If it is hers and not one of her friends (that may have come over and taken one so their parents wouldn't find out) then there is not much you can do about it now, but support her in her decision and help her and just be there to talk and listen.


It might be a false positive if it has been there for more then ten minutes or it could be a friends if she has had friends over. Just talk to her, don't yell or over react. It will scare her and she might not feel comfortable talking to you anymore.


Good luck and the best of wishes to you and your daughter.
have a talk with her.
Die.
