Review:

'This book is for parents who know or suspect their daughter is pregnant. It goes through options and includes sections on medical terms for those who decide to continue with the pregnancy.' --Children & Young People Now

'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.

Issues covered include how to maintain a healthy pregnancy, ante-natal care, preparing for pregnancy and birth, life with a baby, legal matters and education. As a factual guide, it does not promote abortion, adoption or keeping the baby; its purpose is simply to provide information. The information is presented in a clear and concise manner in the form of a simple step by step guide.A list of contacts is included. Author Nicolette Heaton-Harris, a mother of four young children and previously the Pregnancy Editor for BellaOnline.com, says 'If your daughter has discovered she is pregnant, it does not have to be the end of the world. With support, knowledge and education the situation can have a happy outcome for all involved. I hope this book will be invaluable, not only to parents of pregnant teenagers, but also the expectant mother, the father-to-be, their families, teachers and professionals too.'
