telling my parents!

babylove8408

So I'm 8w3d pregnant, I've been pregnant twice before but I've had early miscarriages. I'm only 20 years old and I wasn't planning on becoming pregnant but, I've accepted it and am becoming excited! Anyways I've been with my boyfriend for three years and my parents are not his biggest fans but have recently set aside their differences. I'm still terrified to tell them because I'm afraid they won't be supportive. Did anyone else feel this way? And how did you tell your parents?

Well considering my boyfriend ( now husband) was on drugs at the time...I was 18 yrs old and my parents weren't fond of him and my dads a cop.... they came home from a vaca and we sat down w them (which was a clue, bc we were never around them) I said " well....we r getting married. Oh.... and having our first baby".....shit hit the fan. My dad thought we were joking and mom was pissed

I know I'm capable of being a good mother and he can be a good father but, I know there first reaction isn't going to be good. I'm just not ready for them to be negative is all I wanna keep my stress down as much as possible but just thinking about telling them makes me stress!

It was easy to tell my mom but I hesitated to tell my dad and to my surprise he's been very supportive and he's really happy to have a grand baby on the way. He talks about her all the time!! I was 20 when I got pregnant also but I'm 21 now and I moved out. You might as well go ahead and get it out of the way and it'll be a huge weight lifted off of your shoulders. If your parents are anything like mine, they'll notice something different about u and they'll know you're pregnant anyway. Good luck!! :-)

@tootie08 thanks! I think my moms already suspicious because the obgyn called her house to remind me of my appointment but I didn't say yes when she asked I was too scared. I'll probably tell her soon though.

You r grown. Try being 16 and trying to tell them. That's wat I went thru. I was 16 wen I got pregnant w/ my 1st I was so scared I wrote my mom a letter and had my 4yr old lil sister give it to her.. but you should b just fine just tell them either way they will b happy for you eventually (=

Yes at first I wasn't planning on telling them till I began to show but one day when I was 6 weeks me and my bf were fighting and we ended up telling them my dad did stop talking to me for like a week and my mom was dissapointed but supportive now I'm 21 weeks and they are all happy and exited for lil daijah to be here in 4 months

I was 19 when I told my mom...... I gave her a onsie that said what happens at grandma house stays at grandma house... She looked at me wired n I told her that it was just to start her collection of baby clothes n that she had 9 months..... This time around I had a picture of my ultra sound put on a onsie n a t-shirt n said now u n gran baby number two have matching summer fits

no matter how mad my ma was she couldn't help but fall in love with the idea holding that onsie in her hand or ultra sound which I liked better she can't help but be happy it will soften the blow just be like u want to meet someone n sit her down n pull the ultrasound out n say I would like u to meet it grandbaby
