My parents never said anything about it. Sex ed did an okay job I guess. I have a 12 year old daughter and we've always been honest and open with any questions she's had.
I recommend buying the book It's Perfectly Normal.
It's the best book I've seen that talks about the subject in a kid friendly way but is totally honest and frank.
Check out this book. I never had "the talk" because my church offered (real) sex ed classes so I was forced into. I hated them at the time but am grateful now. The book suggested here was the book used for the middle school class, so its not explicit and is quite amusing at time while being accurate and not pussyfooting around things.
Maybe in a few years when she is no longer a preteen, have another one and say something along the lines of "Its your choice when you feel ready to have sex, but remember that a baby is a big responsibility, so make sure you are safe about it." Another effective thing my mom told me was that if I was responsible enough to have a baby I was responsible enough to take care of myself. She would still love me, but I would have to pay rent to live at her house.
