Answer 1

Well, just tell them. I would wait until after fathers day though...unless you want to send your dad a card from the baby to be calling him grandpa!

Answer 2

Your 18, and pregnant. Your Now a grown up and you need to start acting like one. It really doesn't matter what they think in the long run. It's too late to turn back now. Sit down with them either over diner or in a public place if that would be more comfortable. Do you have a plan of any kind, job, money etc... If so tell them your plans and tell them you hope they can be happy for you guys. You know it will be tough, but with help from them you guys will be fine. It may take a few days for them to think clearly if they are that strict, but if they love you which they do, they'll be there for you.

Answer 3

I was in your exact same situation, only a year ahead of you (i'm about to turn 20) I am four months along. When my boyfriend and I made our final decision to keep the baby (which by the way we are very happy about) I called my mom on the phone and told her i needed her to love me, and support me... i'm sorry but i'm pregnant. Your one up on me, they like your boyfriend, and know since you've been living together, you were probably having sex. Mine, are not a big fan. Despite all that, they have been 100 percent supportive of me baby, and even the boyfriend. Just tell them, your mom will have so much advice and your parents can help you establish things so much better. Best of luck to you, I hope your situation turnes out as good as mine did...

Answer 4

First of all the over protective parents will surprise you, When I told my mother, I was 20 at the time, she was very happy and excited. Granted your parents may not act that way but they will eventually find out so maybe a phone call would be easier. That is how I told my mother. Then follow it with a visit to their house a day or two later to let it sink in. They may be angry or in shock but they will probably come around and in the end be happy.

Answer 5

First of all, if they know you are living with your boyfriend.......they know you are having sex. Just tell them, show them that you are a adult by coming clean and putting their minds at ease that you can and will be a great mother. Your parents will respect you as an adult more if you step up to the plate. It is NOT the end of the world.......your having a baby, not dying. Good Luck!!!

Answer 6

Wow, it takes a lot of courage to be pregnant at your age. Well, you are an adult. You have decided to live with your boyfriend and therefore you two are a couple. Act like one! Accept this yourself. Be happy with this. This is what you wanted ... you are only telling your parents...you are not telling them that they will have to take care of the baby. You can do that..so be courageous and be happy for your new family.

Answer 7

Im 15 and pregnant and i kno what u mean about overprotective parents, my mom wont even let me go down the street without my older brother, but i dont blame her tho because i dont live in the best nieghborhood. but anyway when i told my mom i wrote her a letter and told her everything, and she was suprisingly supportive because she knws im young and i need help. the sooner u tell them the better. and u said u live wit ur man and ur parents kno that, well....im sure they dont think ur sittin around reading the bible 24/7. juss tell ur parents, "mom, dad, im pregnant and ur gunna be grandparents in febuary", they will support u, juss give them a minute. dont wait for the rite time, because to you there never really is a rite time, and u need to tell ur man he needs to come with u because u need him for support, u cant dodge ur parents for ever. good luck to you, and lemme kno if u need further help.

Answer 8

Just tell them because you have no choice anyways. Hurry up and tell them because what if someone happened to find out that you are pregnant and it gets to your parents, not only will they be upest, they will be hurt as well.
What if they do get excited, but always remeber no matter what they think you are about to be a mother and being a mother is a great gift.

Answer 9

i was young when i had my first and the longer you wait to tell
them the harder it is i did not tell my parents till i was almost
five months i had to hide it and believe me you both need to be there to tell them after all like it not you will all be bonded the rest of your life now because the baby is part of you and your boyfriend and you will feel so much better when you get it out in the open then you can share with your mom the pregnancy issues you go through. god bless

Answer 10

you did not make a mistake, don't ever think it is. my parents are the same way, If I had to tell them they would freak out. Just tell them and if they protest that you are too young and can't support a child then say back that obviously your boyfriend is your support and is there for you and that is all you really need.

Answer 11

just tell them, there's nothing they can actually do to stop you having the baby, so don't be scared and start acting like an adult you are going to be a mother soon!. hope that your parents are supportive and that everything goes well with the pregnancy. bye
