Breaking the news

I'm 6 weeks along and I've only known for a week. I'm thinking of telling my family tomorrow at my little brother's birthday party tomorrow, but I'm kinda nervous. This is my first pregnancy. I'm 19 years old and I just got married in October. My husband can't make it to the party, so he won't be there when I tell everyone. Nobody wanted us to get married and everyone was telling me to wait to have a baby. I'm just worried about being bullied about this pregnancy. Anyone have some good advice for me?

    I wld wait a little longer and also when your husband can be there. It is a happy time for you guys and you don't need any negative comments!! And if he is there with you when you tell your family he can be there to support you. Good luck and congrats!! Becoming a mommy is the most AWESOME & AMAZING thing you will ever do!!

    You might want to wait a little bit to break the news. I only say that because your family wasn't thrilled with the marriage. I just think that you and your husband should make the announcement together in order to show just how supportive he is and how strong your relationship is. Your family may still be worried for you because of your age but they are sure to be supportive. I just think making the announcement will go a long way with your family, especially if he takes the reigns a little bit. It may surprise your parents and gain him some respect. Plus, you don't want to overshadow your brothers bday! Let him have his day lol! Trust me, it's going to be all about you for the next eight months! Good luck!

    Since you already know how they feel about you getting married and having a baby, you can pretty much guess what their reaction is going to be. But please remember that things will calm down eventually and they will all ADORE that baby! In the mean time, I would let them know that although you know that they only want what is best for you, this is the path that you have chosen and this is what makes you happy. You don't need any additional stress right now, so if you feel like they are attacking you, I would limit my contact with them. Congratulations! I became a mommy too at 19 :) best thing I ever done!

    Thanks for all your comments. I've decided I'll just wait until we're all together again (and with my husband present) before I tell everyone. So far, my husband's family and my aunt know. They've all agreed to keep quiet so I can give my family the great news myself.

    I think you have gotten good advice and made a great decision in waiting. They will learn to love the baby and see how grown up you are. Good luck!

    Update : I told my family and they're all excited. My grandpa said the funniest thing. He asked, "How did that happen?" I told him, "Grandpa, I don't think I need to explain how babies are made to you." He also commented that I did it in the right order : got married then got pregnant. So everything went better than expected :)
