I went to my 20 year school reunion a couple of years ago and the girl who was pregnant in high school now looks back with fond memories. Her boy is in his twenties and also has just had a baby, so she is 40(ish) and a grandma.

She said that she would not change a thing!

Hopefully, once you get past being angry, you can be the supportive mother that you would like to be. I'd echo having discussions with the father and his family. This is a huge turning point in your daughter's life. She will do a better job of it if she is backed up by as many rational people as she can get her hands on. Just remember that she will make decisions that you won't agree with - that is natural and you might find it hard, but your daughter really needs as much positive help from you as possible.
