Quoting [morgan]: trust me I know how difficult it is. Im five months and I just told my mom yesterday. I've been vomiting ... [snip!] ... behind you that you love so much, so I encourage everyone to tell their parents ASAP. I regret I should've told them sooner. Yea I've hinted and I'm sure she assumes it or is in denial. I have said a lot everything but I'm pregnant. I am telling her soon, but gotta do it will my best friend there cause otherwise I'll chicken out. Well good luck and congrats

Quoting SkUlLbAbY: well i found it hard and easy to tell my parents at the same time as i find it hard to tell anyone big ... [snip!] ... looking up for us with everyone comming around. i agree with everyone else that telling them asap is the best way about it.
My mom always said "KEEP iT REAL"
So I did when I came home from tha YWCA [[ they have a clinic there]] I had a paper saying that I was 6 weeks pregnant +& Mami look & gave her the paper she looked at me && started 2 cry after that she said pack your things && get out of my house. But still you have 2 be honest && tell your parents !

lol thats EXACTLY what i did. I hinted to her since 4 weeks. I watched John & Kate plus 8, Bringing Home Baby, asked her a whole bunch of baby questions and so on. I think it made it a lot easier on her because in the back of her head she always knew but was just in denial. =]

i actually cheated.. i told my cousin who was pregnant at the time and she in turn told my mother for me, seeing as though this is my 2nd pregnancy and i had miscarried the first one less than 6 months before, i was scared of what my mom would say, or make me do, because she is a nurse. well they got very MADat me. even threatened to make me have an abortion even though i knew for a fact that was not going to happen... my parents acted like my pregnancy was nonexistant for a long time because they didnt want to disappoint my grandparents. we finally got to tell every one in may and thats only because i was getting married in JUNE!!
i have to say, i was scared to death to tell my parents again that their baby girl was pregnant, but in the end it has been fabulous, my grandfather who i didnt think would ever talk to me again has been buying stuff for the baby and calling to check on him every day!!
its less stress on you and your baby if you go on and tell. even if you dont tell them, have someone you trust and they trust, to tell them!!

WELL I TOLD MY MOM BY TELLING HER THAT I WOKE UP FEELING DIZZY AND FELT LIKE THROWING UP ,THEN RIGHT AWAY SHE JUST TOLD ME TO TAKE A PREGNANCY TEST BUT I ALREADY HAD TOOK ONE . AND SHE WAS VERY CALM ABOUT IT . I WAS VERY SCARED TO TELL HER. BUT YOU SHOULD TELL YOUR MOM RIGHT AWAY SO THAT YOU CAN GET CLOSER TO HER I THINK IF YOU WAIT TILL SHE FOUNDS OUT FROM SOMEONE ELSE OR BY YOUR BELLY SHOWING SHE PROBABLY BE A LITTLE UPSET BECAUSE SHE WOULD WANT TO KNOW FROM HER DAUGHTER .

So my story isnt bad but not good!! My fieance and i were outside and his aunt came home with the test and just know we live with his grandma who was at work at the time who baught the test and his aunt and 3 cousins live with us too. so his grandma had baught us ones before just so we could check, but this time i had thought i missed my peroid. So we went to the bathroom and took it then waited the 3 minutes but after like 30 seconds the lines were dark pink!! So i went in our room and bawled!!! Then i had to start calling parents. I called Josh's mom first cuz i knew that she woud be more understanding. She was. She was so excited and i called Josh's grandma and she was like I know. Grandmas always know!!! So everyone kept telling me to wait to tell my mom but thats one thing you cant wait on. So i called her and i said "mom, your gonna be so mad and disappointed in me" her first reaction is "OMG what did you do" " nothing mom just guess" First thing out of her mouth is "your not pregnant are you" at this time im bawlin so hard. and i go "yea" "OMG no way you cant be are you searous" Yea mom i am . She goes " well colm down were gonna get through this but we all knew it was commin." then she got the luxiary of telling my dad for me!! Lol thanks mom!! but no she is helping me a lot with me not living at home she and i only talk once every couple days!! But yea thats my story! A word of advice just dont be afraid to tell your mom cuz she is the person who will understand the best!!

Aww sweetie, don't give up the baby just cause the daddy doesn't want it. do what YOU want to do, it's your body and your life. If you want to keep it, then by all means keep it. If he's not gonna be there, then hun, you're not the only one who's alone cause guys chicken out of their responsibilities all the time so if you think you can handle it and raise the baby on your own (if it comes to that) than, go for it!

im 20, and its been a rough year. i didnt know i was pregnant until about 22 weeks, only because i wasnt showing ANY signs other than my period stopped. my periods havent been normal since i started getting it when i was 13, plus my daddy was very sick with AML (acute leukemia) and he also had a staph infection and was dying. im very close to my daddy, he knew all my secrets. so when i told him my period hadnt come yet, he said, "i hope your not pregnant". he passed away april 8th, and i didnt find out i was preggo until june, so i never got a chance to tell him. my mom and i were never as close as i was with my daddy, but we still are close. she wanted me to be a virgin until i was married, so she didnt even know my finace and i were having sex, even though weve been together over 5 years now. so when i told her, i basically came out and said, "IM PREGNANT!" and she was totally surprised! but shes accepted it. so now im 28 weeks and everyone knows, i just wish i couldve told my daddy before he passed. my advice is to just tell your family straight out, dont hold it in. besides, they will find out eventually when your tummy starts growing! haha.

Well it was pretty easy for me to tell my mama that I was preggars because I wasn't the actual person who told her! Here's how it went:
I had noticed that my period hadn't came on when itusually did, butI just shrugged it off becuse periods can be late. When my period still hadn't come on I got scared and talked to my boyfriend about it, he was very supportive but still insisted that I go to the doctor and act as if I was having a normal routine check-up. I went to the doctor the next day and I was supposed to have a papschmear, but the nurse bursted in the room and yelled that I was pregnant! My mother looked at me with a mixture of surprise and dissapointment because I am only 17 and I haven't finished high school yet. On the drive home, I was very nervous because I knew that I was gonna have to tell my daddy. When I told him the only thing he could do was drop his head and it hurt like hell to see him like that! Eventually I confirmed the news to my boyfriend who surprisingly was very happy and excited! He immediately told his friends that he was going to be a daddy. Now everyone is really cool with it and is anxiously awaiting the new arrival!
