I don't know how to tell my parents...
posted 26th Apr
I told my parents last night. It went amazing. I couldn't stop smiling afterwards they surprised me in so many ways. I never thought I'd have their full complete support as soon as I told them. God is amazing!!!! I feel so at peace now knowing that nothing is hidden from the most important ppl in my life.
I read another forum and all the replies and it seems like for the most part it took no time for ppl's parents to be happy. My parents are extremely religious. And don't get me wrong I have an amazing relationship with God, but I don't agree with everything my parents believe. I want to tell my mom and step-dad so bad but I'm so nervous. I told my dad last night but I knew that would be easy... my older sister had a baby about 2 yrs ago (also unwed) I want to tell them without having to hear them say it's wrong and that sex outside of marriage is wrong etc. etc. I believe my baby is a gift from God and I know they will too, eventually, it's just getting through telling them now.....
Also.. I don't live at home i'm some thousand miles away from them and I'm in the army so it's not like I need them to get to a dr. or for financial support. It's just wanting them to except their grandbaby.

Im very close to God as well. And ya know, we arent made perfect. Stuff does happen, I had sex before marriage, I think most people do even though were not supposed to we do give in. I would just straight up tell her or right it in a letter if you feel more comfortable.

I guess Ill never understand why girls ask how to tell their parents.. Your the one that knows your parents..Only you know the right way to tell them. I told my mom 30min after I found out. I knew she'd be upset/disappointed in me but maybe I deserve that; I know I shouldnt have gotten pregnant so young.. But I had to get past all that to get her support. That's what matters the most--to me at least.

just do it.
that's basically it.
you'll never know how they'll rwact until you tell them.
when i got pregnant i was still pretty dependent on my parents so of course i was nervous to tell them...i called my mom right away, balling my eyes out. she was extremely supportive.
i was more worried about telling my father bc i was unsure how he would react. i called him a few hours later...
you know what he said? "i love you and everything will work out..."
they encouraged me and supported me and that was all i needed =]

I just told my mom. Sooner or later she would find out. and it was better to do it early so I could go to the doctor. My dad kicked me out of the house. It took him a few months to start talking to me again.
