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

I sat my Mother down when I found out I was Pregnant and Im 17 years old I think Parents your closest with you should sit them down tell them. worked for me and my mother. and I ran it through my head how Im gonna tell her and It just came out. but fathers I think is a different story I text him my parents are not together and my father lived different town so Just text but dont tell brothers that visit dad they tell   but thing is my parents didnt get all mad. They had high hopes for me and always talked to me about it. Some Parents are scared its like their baby is having a baby I see my mom give me them eyes She cant believe Im really pregnant. Dont Worry To Much about telling parents When its right for you tell them.  

I am 18 and pregnant... My sons' father is 24, when we first found out the plan was to sit my mother down and tell her together, but the same week we found out he got lock'd up. My mistake was staying with a convicted felon who still had 2warrent's that hadnt gone thru dissmisal process yet. For 2wk's I didnt know where he was til his mother called and told me what happen. I was in shock and didnt know what to do. Finally 2day's before my first ultra sound I was at school, I decided to text my mom and tell her, she was mad for a little while but got over it, she just felt bad because she was 18 when she had me.
The next day we were both in shock and turn'd white as ghost's when the tech told us I was having twin's....
Now Im about to give birth, I left the father of my sons', and my mother and I are closer than ever.....
Thou she may get mad, she's your mother she get's what your going thru, and for more upset she is she wont turn her back on you... father's are different, bu your mama's all you need...

When I found out I was pregnant, I was 17 and in the middle of my senior year. I was only like 2 days late, I had no reason to take a pregnancy test, other than the fact I had a gut feeling. I took 3 tests, all positive. I was scared to death to tell my parents. A month or two before I found out I was having such bad stomach pains every day that I couldn't go to school. I ended up getting an ultrasound to see if I had appendicitis. Nothing showed up, so my mom said you better not be pregnant.(if i was at that point it would be too early to see).I laughed and said thats impossible, when it was very much possible. So when I had to tell her I was pregnant I was scared to death. My boyfriend and I told his mom and family first, because they are more understanding. They took it fine and were all very excited. I had skipped school that day and my mom called me to see why, I ended up blurting "you're going to be a grandma." Baddd mistake haha, she didn't take it very well. She eventually came around, my dad was fine from the get go. They are both very excited and very supportive now. I say no matter how strict or conservative your parents are, tell them right away. It makes everything so much better.

Well I bearly told my parents that i'm pregnant like 2 weeks ago. First i told my mom. I just showed her the ultrasound picture, and she just gave me a lecture and it wasnt as bad as i thought it would be plus she was incharge of telling my dad,but the worst part was when they wanted to talk to me and my boyfriend. He was literally sweating. My boyfriends family was all excited i mean noone was dissapointed at all. but now mostly all my family knows and everyone doesnt stop touching my belly. Its really annoying.

When I was 16 my mother was there with me when I took my test, she knew I was pregnant before I did... The hardest person was my father who was out of town on business at that time... He cried and told me I wouldn't finish school....

My daughter is now 16 herself, and the same age that I was when I was pregnant with her. I only hope I have raised her and her sisters (11 and almost 2) with enough confidence to come to me without fear or worry.

First off I should start by telling you that my mom hates my boyfriend, of 3years. I found out late last year that I was pregnant and told my best friend and told her not to tell. Only being 19 we decided that abortion was the best option for us. Well Christmas eve my friend called looking for me and wound up talking to my mom. Somehow it slipped out that I was pregnant and getting an abortion. My mom confronted us and went crazy. We eventually decided against abortion but she forced us to. So our appointment date came and we told her we were on our way there but didn't go. When we told her that she was pissed beyond belief. Disgusted was a good word. Well we started attending Dr appointments and wound up having a miscarrage. Since my mom has previously had 6 trying to have me she had about 5minutes worth of sympathy twards us....literally 5minutes and then it wasn't mentioned again.

Well this all happened in January. And here it is almost August and i,m pregnant again 17weeks. Almost twice as far along as last time. So we're pretty sure that i'm not going to miscarry. But telling my mom is the last thing in the world that i'm ready to do. His mom was incredibly excited. But my mom is not someone that I want to face


Help!

The biggest fear is disappointment or the reprecussion there of. Your best bet (especially as far long as you are now) is to break it tactfully and simply. "Your are going to be a grandma on such-and-such a date". You are an adult now, you are 19+ years old. You need to act like an adult and own up to what you want and what is best for your family. Not all parents are going to be supportive, not all are going to be wonderful and not all melt when they see their grandbaby. But most do come around. That is their job as parents.

I handed my mother my pregnancy test and she said "Oh, shit"
I am 15 years old. So it was a big shocker.

im 18 and took the tests in my parents bathroom, but i forgot to take the wrappers with me and my little sister saw them and told so i sort of got out of the whole telling the parents

It wasn't so bad for me to tell my mom. I just went into the kitchen one morning and told her i had to tell her something. Right away she said, "don't tell me your pregnant." My boyfriend said "No, of course not." My mom was so rejoiced, she replied with "oh, thank god." Then i told her i was. Of course she said the f word alot and smoked alot of cigarettes back to back but she took it better than i though she would. Now my dad was different then most people's dad's would react. I went to walmart and bought a card that said "oh baby" on the front i wrote on the inside, congrats your gonna be a grandpa and when he opened it and read it, he started crying. I decided to tell my dad like that because thats what my mom did when she found out she was pregnant for me, and it was a really sweet thing.

Ithink my story is thebaddest of them all. when i found out i was pregnant with my first child i was only 13 years old and my babys father was 14. i didnt tell my mom because i knew she would b very mad at me. so i ran away and lived with my babys father and his mother. when i went into labor the hospital called her. she was not very happy with me but there was nuthin she could do. after my daughter was born i moved back in with my mother because me and my babys father broke up. when my daughter was onemy babys father and igot back together. on my daughters 2 birthday i found out i was pregnant again. i was only 15 my babys father was 16. i told my mother this time. she was very upset with me. when my son was born my babys father asked me to marry him. then 2 weeks later he got locked up. now i have 2 children at the age of 15 to take care of by myself. it is not easy and i do think u should tell your parents as soon as you find out so you can have some help.

im a mother of 2.
A son Zailen Lee, 2 months and a daughter Yolanda Sharee 2 years.
Im 15 i will be 16 on november 24.

I just turned 19, so I guess I'm not too youngggg but...


My mom lives 1400 miles away from me, so I called and just told her, nothing she can do or say. But she's supportive.

I made my dad a card. Kind of like a "hey youre going to be a grandpa! woohoo" card. and he laughed, was a little upset, but got over it. i made my brother's gf sit with me when i gave him the card, lmao. boyfriend asked my dad not to kill him, which lightened the mood a little... everyone laughed.


boyfriends mom, knew without us saying anything, she overheard us talking lol.
and his father, still doesnt know and i'm due in november sooooo yeah.
(im really quite pissed off that his father doesnt know yet!) 

I got pregnant 3 months after being 16, And I waited till I was 3 months to tell my mom but she put two and two together and had a test for me when I got home from school. But my mom was young when she had me she was 16 to so it was not that bad for me. But I would not wait long and just come right out with it cause its better to be right up front about it. Thats the only thing my mom was mad about me waiting 3 months.

i got pregnant when i was sixteen i was almost seventeen, i took a test at my boyfriends house when i was six days late. i took the test and no line showed up so i thought we were in the clear. WRONG!!!! the next morning i pulled the test out and there was a faint line..... so i was thinking oh shit! so i took the other test i had and it showed up rite away. so i called my boyfriend crying and i told him. we were boh freeking out about how to tell our parents. so mothers day rolled around and my mom was talking to my grandma about how my dad didnt like my boyfriend being at the house when they werent there. my mom laughed and told my grandma "its not like shes gonna get pregnant she is on birth control " as my boyfriend were listening to my mom talk to my grandma we were giving each other the oh shit looks. when my mom got off the phone i told her i didnt start when i was supposed to. and she said thats okay. i said no mom im pregnant she looked at me and called me a liar like i was kidding so i got up and showed her the test she was upset. and then my dad called from work as we were talking  and my mom broke the news to my dad. i was glad i didnt have to do it. now my babys dad and i live with my parents there so exited to meet there granddaughter   Now his parent on the other hand were jerks and kept trying to push abortion and i made it clear i would not!  so that pissed his mom off a bit but all well his mom tried to cry and plead and whine but she made herself look pathetic. now she wants to be a part of the babys life but she has not helped so i dont like her.

it might be scary but you gotta do it sooner or latter preferably sooner.

im only 17 and5 mo pregnant. but i have the love a support of my family and my boyfriend.
