I'm my daddy's baby girl too. I was in school to become a doctor nd I dropped out cuz I got pregnant. I was so nervous to tell him nd at first I think he was disappointed about the whole situation but once he saw my baby in a picture of the first ultrasound he's been so involved nd sending packages for her nd bought her whole travel system etc. just give him time. if he loves you, he's gonna love a little baby you(:

I agree, there's no difference in saying sorry for your baby, or sorry in disappointing him BECAUSE of your baby, disappointment is a natural emotion to feel, and he'll get over it, but you shouldn't say sorry, because ARE you sorry that you're pregnant, and are disappointing him? Would you rather not be pregnant and not disappoint him? I doubt it.. I think if it was a matter of him finding out from someone other than you, then yes, I'd say sorry, but otherwise, no way. I had my first at 17 and I was engaged to my now husband, and my mom and dad were disappointed but now they love my son like no other, and we just had our 2nd child, a girl last week, and they love her just as much.. He'll surprise you, your his baby girl but wait til he sees his grandchild, it's a natural love just like your own child.

I still don't think you should have to apologize sure you may have disappointed him but that's only because you arnt Doing what he wanted you to do in your life my mom was the same way with my 1st expecting me to apologize for living my own life and making my own decisions but I wouldn't because its my life and I feel everyone can make their own decisions and just because you are having a baby doesn't mean you can't still do everything and more that he wanted for you in your life

I think if I was in her shoes the sorry would be for disappointing him not for getting pregnant!!!!! That might be a better way to look at it.....

Also, not sure if this is how it is but you said he "found out" that you're pregnant, so I'm assuming you didn't tell him yourself? That may add on to why is he upset. Just saying. I think it is normal forhim to be upset because you will always be his little girl and you are young, but you shouldn't have to apologize for being pregnant.

There r a lot of things we realize about our personalities that we have to either change or totally get rid of when we have children.....it's graduating into a totally different stage of life....don't look at saying sorry as losing pride.... Having pride is a good thing but to have too much is a problem!!!!!! Put yourself if your dad's shoes.....if u child twenty years from now comes to u the same way u did to him and u felt those same feelings.....just think how far a sorry would go!!!!! Saying sorry is more about justifying the other persons feelings rather than letting ur pride down!!!!!! Just some insightful advice since I don't know anything about you or your situation but you are young....you will get it!!!!!! And he will definitely come around!!!!! That's What happens when your daddy's little girl!!!! Good luck!!!

Sorry for being pregnant? No, that's just ridiculous! He'll come around.

You shouldn't have to apologize just because your dad is upset about your pregnancy. You're an adult now, you make your own decisions. I think he needs to apologize for treating you like you're still a child.

I agree, tell him your sorry you're pregnant? That's ridiculous. A baby is a blessing, you're plenty old enough to take care of a child and support yourself.. don't say sorry for your child.

I think you do need to learn how to admit when you're wrong. However, you shouldn't have to tell him you're sorry about being pregnant. I don't think, personally. He is just gonna need some time to get used to the idea.
