For many teenage girls, finding out that they are pregnant is the scariest day of their lives. A young girl has so many different thoughts running around in her head when she find out that she is going to be a mother. One of the first things they have to do is tell their mother and father and their boyfriend. Emotions can run high and tempers can flair when a teen tells their parents they are having a baby. This is because parents are scared for their unwed teenage daughter and that can show it’s self with anger.

For parents learning that their teen is pregnant is a very scary thing. Parents often think of teens as their babies they do not usually see them as young adults. It is hard for a parent to worry over how their baby will afford all the daily diapers that babies need or how to buy formula or baby bath. Especially when the week before this they were out buying acne wash for their teen and now they are taking them to the Obstetrician’s office.

This can be overwhelming to any parent. It is then time to tell the boyfriend. Most teens will get one of two reactions. The teenage boyfriend will want no part of it or he will be willing to be there for mother and child. Many teenage boys revert back to childhood when faced with this much responsibility. They realize that their lives as they know it are about to change drastically.

Some teen boys do not want to deal with what they see as a problem and they decide to just stay away from mother and child. When this happens it is important for the girl to know that she does not need him because you can do it with out him. Make him support his baby whether he wants to or not. When your baby is born you can take him to court to have child support ordered. It is his responsibility to support his baby and the courts will order him to do it.

Teen mothers are often scared by the fathers because they threatened to get custody of the baby. Sometimes when the boys parents have money the girls feel even more threaten of losing their child. This is not an issue as long as you are properly taking care of your child, judges do not take babies away from their mothers just because the father has more money than the mother.

Being a mother is hard work but it is so very rewarding too. It is not uncommon for young mothers to feel overwhelmed. When you get overwhelmed just ask for help. After the shock of the news has worn away your parents will be happy they have a grand child. There are always exceptions but more often than not parents of teen mothers can be very supportive.

If your mother and father are still not being supportive then turn to friends or other members of your family for help. After you have spent a whole night awake with a baby that wont stop screaming you can call a cousin, aunt, grandparent, or friend to help you out. You will not believe how supportive some people can be.
