Why do they all wanna grow up so fast?? very difficult situation for you all. I have a few different viewpoints here. I was just 18 when I learned my daughter was coming. I was shocked as obviously a baby wasnt in my life plan yet. But, she is the Very best thing that ever surprised me! It was a tough road. We got married and 6 months after the wed, Kyleigh was born. She has an absolutely wonderful dad. Altho we are no longer married, we are still best friends and talk everyday.
Viewpoint #2, As Ky grew up, I pursued my career as a nurse in an OB GYN office. I saw so many lil girls come thru that had the same fear. Some as young as 12!!! how sad I thought. It was always hard to tell them they had + results. I was amazed however, how many parents stood by their sides to make agonizing decisions. There are really good family clinics in every state, like planned parenthood for ex. They teach, test, and support all kids in this situation if in fact it turns out worst case scenario. If not, and we hope, they also teach how to NOT get in this sit again.
Just a lil footnote, Ky is being married in Oct to a great guy, and she is a success in her career and life. She makes us so darn proud!
Best of luck and hang in there. Fingers crossed for - results.
