re: How to tell the parents your preggo...

i still havent told mi parents and im 15 weeks aready and ill see how im going to do..any advice..?  

im 17 years old.the pregnancy tests in the doctors offices kept coming back negative but my boyfriend was sure i was at least 6 weeks. Turs out he was right on the money. I cant even begin to explain how scared i was telling my dad. He's the one whos rasied me since i was a little girl, my mom was never around. so i felt liek i had really let him down. I called him up and tried to make small talk with him and then i wound up just blurting it out, im pretty sure my heart skipped a few beats in the awkwatd silen that followed haha. I gave him his space for the next few days, and im happy to say that everything wound up okay. Hes talking about buying a crib and stoller now. Its his way for acting excited, without telling me that being pregnant so young is okay haha. lucky for me everyone else in my family was eally excited and supportive from the get-go. Even my boyfriends family is excited. Its good to have them behind me, its reassuring. My boyfriends mom had him at 18 aswell, so she can help me a lot where i need it.


Heres To The Rest Of Our Lives Ladies.  

well, im 16 and everyone and their moms knew about me being pregnant.. except my mom. i was terrified to tell my mom. i knew she was going to be pisseddd. but i knew i had to tell her sooner or later. but they way i told her was i left her a longgg note, a booklet that the clinc gave me that said "dont panic how to tell your parents your pregnant," and the ultrasounds i got from the clinc on the kitchen table and left for work. she called me a little bit upset, but she sounded calm. all in all i think she was more disappointed and heartbroken. more than mad and stuff. i feel really bad for doing that to my mom.. but i know once the baby gets here she will be super excited.

I am lucky I guess to have my mom. She called me in December and told me that I was going to get pregnant. And I said mom, no Im not, blah blah blah. At this time we lived in two different states. She told me that I was going to be due in September, with a little girl.
Well guess what? Im having a little girl due Sept. 3! I called her the day I found out and before I could say anything she said I told you so. She told me she had had a dream, which at the time I didnt take seriously. I thought it was really neat. Now my dad is passed away, but Im sure he would be so happy. As for the rest of my family, they are really mad at me. My grandparents wont even talk to me. Which makes me really sad, but I know that I have support, just in different ways.

I ended up telling my mother over the phone when I was at a friends house...but my friend lives right behind where I live so I was on her porch staring up at my kitchen window telling my mom the news. She was a bit overwhelmed because it was pretty heavy news since the news of my dads death May of 06 [ rip ] ... she's excited now! my brother for a while was a little on the iffy side but they're both being extremely helpful. I'm due on halloween and I couldn't tell you how excited everyone is.

My Advice : tell your parents as quick as you possibly can. Get it out of the way. Then you could ask them questions about what they did when you were coming into the world. You can use all the help and advice you can get!  

Well i found out i was pregnant on my boyfriends birthday. So i told him(my boyfriend) in the car on the way to the restaurant with my dad and his girlfriend. Well my boyfriend could barely eat, but we both acted like nothing happened.

I waited until my 13th week, and told my mom on the phone. She was happy, but i think alittle disappointed. I told her, "Do not tell dad though please." She promised, then I swear like 5 minutes later my dad calls me (I was at work) and is like "You told the whole family your pregnant? What? You couldnt even tell me yourself because you were too scared?!" I felt horrible. When I got off work, my dad was not home. There was a hole in the wall, so I was kind of glad I was not home.

Long story short, my dad and i dont talk about the baby. He does not want anything to do with it, while my mom is super excited about a granddaughter and even wants to get a bigger place just so my daughter can have her very own room at grandmas.

i had always been kinda bad at remembering to take my birth control and one month i started my period early because i missed so many pills so i just discarded the rest of the pack. well i didnt want my body to be off whack so i waited an extra week to start up my pills again. well i wasnt sure when i was supposed to start my period because i wasnt sure which day of the week i had started them. if i got off on a sunday id usually start that thursday. well come saturday i hadnt started my period but i wasnt thinking anything of it because birth control can really make things go hay wire, well my friend said "ive got an old pregnancy test in my car...take it" so we did, i peed in a cup, and she put the pregnancy test in there and we forgot about it. a few minutes later we were like...wait, wheres the test? she she went and got it and was like "youre not gonna believe this..." it was digital, and it said "Pregnant". she was like, "okay we're going to the store to buy more." so we went and 11 tests later i was still pregnant. brian took it pretty well, granted he cried at first but now he's the most excited a person can be. well i wasnt going to tell my dad for a week because easter was the next weekend and i didnt want to ruin it for anyone, but at dinner with my friends and brian the night after i was just like...i need to get this over with. so i sent my dad a text that said "are you and dianna (my step-mom) home?" and he said "yes, why?" and i said, "because me and rbian need to talk to you." and he said "ill kill him." and i said "dad stop." well our friends dropped us off at my house because we didnt drive, we werent planning on telling them but i needed to see a doctor. well i told my step mom when i got in the house because she asked what waswrong. she had my brother michael when she was 17 so she was understanding and without her i dont knwo what i wouldve done. well my dad pretty much already knew, but he still asked "so whats the problem?" i kept trying to avoid saying it but i blurted it out "im pregnant" and started bawling. he yelled at e for a while...and then after about like 30 minutes...he was FINE. i was shocked. our friends came by to pick us up and my dad had them come in and were all joking around and what not,, and i asked dad if i could not go to school the next day...because we still had to tell his parents. he said it was fine and i went back to brians house. well the next day he called and blew up again and i called dianna and was like "im moving ou if this is what my life i going to be like." 10 minutes later i get an apology phone call from my dad. but he did tell me that i needed to tell my mom. me and my mom hadnt been very close since i moved out of her house and into my dads but i called crying and she was like "whats wrong?" i said "you dont wanna know" and she kept saying she did so i managed to get out "i didnt mean to but i got pregnant and-" and she goes "Oh honey, this is wonderful. stop crying. everythings okay, i love you, youre beautiful, im coming home. can you come to my house?" and so i went to her house and she told me that she had gotten pregnant twice as a teenager, and that it was MY decision how to live my life and she would support me no matter what. she has been so amazing. she comes to every doctors appt. even my dad now took off work to find out the sex, and hes buying car seats and strollers, and telling me to take care of his grandson.

brians parents are soemthing else though. they used to like me until his older brother and his now wife moved back to VA, since we've been on the ish list. well we told them and she told me that i should give my baby to her husbands adopted daughter because i get a child for no reason and she cant have kids. i about punched the wall. i couldnt believe her nerve. and she said, im glad heathers parents are helping you out, because we wont be, and asked brian why he always has to take the hard road...it would be hard if you were a little nicer to your son, but what do i know? anyways, she hasnt really even talked to me about it and im 6 and a half months pregnant, his step-dad cussed me out. she asked when i was about 5 months pregnant where my son was being born. and then a few weeks ago she told me that we needed to egt together to figure out what the baby needs so she can try and help out. um, im extremely capable of knowing what my baby needs. i told her i already registered and that she could come to the baby shower.

I suspected i was pregnant at the end of May, early June, but i wanted to wait it out just to see if i got my period and the 27th rolled around and my period hadn't came yet so me and my boyfriend went to walgreens and i took 2 tests and they both came back positive in seconds. I waited to tell my mom for a few days, but i made the mistake of letting my sister know and she told my mom, she was upset for a little bit and then she got happy about it and now everything is fine.

well, im 19 and im about 20 weeks and 5 days preggo now. I told my mom a few days after i found out, when i was about 7 weeks into it, (she wasnt very happy about it, but she grew into the idea of having her first grandchild, afterall), but last monday, august 27th, is when i JUST told my dad lolz. i thought he was gonna flip but luckily he was just happy to hear another boy was gonna be in the family!! everyone is really excited! My boyfriend's parents took the news really well too. we told them back at 7 weeks too. it seems like so long ago now, but im glad it happened the way it did! due january 16th 2008 and i cant wait!!!    

Okay so I'm 19 and I just found out last week that Im pregant. I got pregnant last year in October and In December I had a miscarriage and I never told my parents about any of it. They called me the night I spent in the hospital and I just told them I was sleepin at my boyfriends. Well, apparently Im about 6 weeks pregnant now and I have noooo idea how to tell my parents... Im thinkin about not tellin them at all and lettin them notice later on when I start to show which will be pretty obvious because I have a pretty flat tummy but idk they are gonna be sooooooooo pissed. Im gettin married in a couple weeks sooo Im thinkin when they find out about that they'll just assume I am but idk what to say to them?

I found out on the day of my high school graduation (june 1) that I was pregnant... my boyfriend kept telling me that I had to tell my parents, but I just couldn't.
we waited until the weekend after the fourth of july to tell them. we were at his house first, and told his mom. she was upset, but happy at the same time. then we drove to my house and i walked through the door with my boyfriend and said, "mom, don't hate me, but i'm pregnant" and then i started bawling... she was pissed and I ended up having to spend the night at my boyfriend's house.
since my dad is in the Middle East cuz he's in the army, my mom called him that night and he sent me a text message saying that everything would be alright and that my mom overreacted.
now, everytime i go over to my boyfriend's house, his mom is always tellin me to eat or drink stuff that's supposed to be good for the baby. she's so happy about it. my parents, on the other hand, don't actually talk about it unless something's going wrong, like i'm sick or something.
but i guess they have every reason to be upset cuz i'm only 17, but my 18th birthday is tomorrow, so it's not that bad.

Well i am 18 an dmy boyfriend is 21...when we found out that i was pregnant we were staying with his parents because my mom had kicked me out last year because i refused to leave my boyfriend(that a whole nother story tho lol) anyways i was terrified to tell his mom, she is more like a mom to me so i was scared what she would tell me, but after i got the first ultrasound from the dr.'s i just went up to her and told her that there was something i needed to talk to her about and we went in her room and i showed her the picture at first she was a little nervous, she wasn't sure that we were ready, and she showed her concern, but after about a week she got used to the idea and now she couldnt be happier since we told her we moved out of state for his work and she hates it she wants to be there for ever dr.'s appt and every little kick. i get e-mails and txts from herr like 5 times a day making sure everything is okay. ti this day my mom still doesn't know...she and i dont erally speak and she doesnt return my calls she still thinks i live in cali wheni moved out of sate over a month ago   Parents just like us have to get used to the idea than Most of the time they are as thrilled as we are!

I havent actually told my parents yet? =S


I think im just going to wait till they guess?

I know they'll kik me out and ill have no where to live
