‘As a midwife, and the mother of a teenage mother, I hold the view that teenage pregnancy need not be a disaster for all concerned…what is important is that the teenager’s parents are supportive and open to promoting the young woman's choices. The book highlights this need and I would recommend it to other parents who have recently discovered or suspect their daughter is pregnant. It may also be appropriate for student midwives as a starting point.’ Sally Price, Consultant Midwife, The Practising Midwife

This book has been written to help you navigate the many decisions and uncertainties you face when discovering that your daughter, a teenager, may be pregnant. It doesn’t promote keeping the baby, abortion or adoption. Its purpose is simply to give you information. Nicolette Heaton-Harris brings together facts on:

• How to tell if your daughter is pregnant.
• Abortion and adoption.
• Preparing your daughter for her pregnancy and birth.
• Helping her cope with a new baby.
• Your daughter’s education.
• Birth control and sexual health.

Discovering your teenage daughter is pregnant is likely to come as a huge shock – but it doesn’t have to be the end of the world. Arming yourself with accurate information and knowledge will help you communicate with your daughter in an open way, leading to positive outcomes for all concerned.
