Mixed emotions

[Tink]

My 19 yr old dd came to me last night with a pregnancy test stick in her shaking hand, tears running down her cheeks, and asked "Am I reading this right?"
Yep, she's pregnant.
She went to the clinic this morning and had it confirmed. While she was there she scheduled an appointment with a pregnancy counselor for next month.

She's been battling ovarian cysts so has had very irregular periods, so couldn't go by that alone. She had 3 periods in 4 weeks... so wasn't sure when she ovulated. She'd been having symptoms that made her suspicious, which is why she tested.

She's dating a 26 yr old who had asked her to marry him a few weeks ago and she turned him down as she felt she was too young and it was too soon. He seems to be quite thrilled at this news thank goodness.

I'm relieved that she's not 14 like a couple of her friends were when they had babies. She will be 20 before she has hers. I'm glad she's got her HS diploma, is with the father who seems to plan to stick around, and isn't a drunk, druggie, or freeloader like most she's dated. She already told me she will be keeping the baby and realizes her partying days are over. I'm glad the father is working 2 jobs in hope of being able to buy a house in the near future.

I am concerned that she's so young, unmarried, hasn't gone to college yet, and this will change her life forever. I made her promise me she will NOT decide to marry him JUST because of the pregnancy.

So I'm in shock. Babies are so precious and I know this one will be greatly loved, but Oh My...
