What I would do is to talk to her doctor and tell him that if she comes to him asking about birth control that he should help her. Then tell her that if she needs to have birth control that you would like her to talk to the doctor. He can then keep a file and keep up on her female health. If she wants birth control he can help educate her.I hope I am not that mom too! I have worked hard for 16 years to try and not be!!
RE getting BC info from a Dr, I had actually considered that as a possibility as I thought about "the talk" we need to have, but I was not sure if was a good idea or not.
I am curious about what others think.
I did not have a lot of parenting by my parents as a pre-teen/teenager, and never ever a sex talk, so this is new territory for me! Everything I learned was from friends; that did not work out well, so I work at doing it differently.
That kind of takes you out of the equation, but you know if she chooses to do it she will be well cared for.
Sometimes you want to know and other time you wish you didn't know. At least that's how I felt when my daughter was that age.
