Answer 1

Your going to have to tell them eventually. Now would be the right time. You never know how your parents will react. This either way is going to be a shocker....hopefully your mom will stick by your side no matter what....that is what a good mom is suppose to do. Good Luck

Answer 2

When I got pregnant for the first time I was 17.I was so very afraid.I finally told my parents at 4 1/2 mths because I started getting big.They were not near has mad as I thought they would be.Luckily I told them they got me to a Doctor and then I found out i had diabetes from pregnancy.If i would not have told them serious things could have happened.My son is now 6 years old and things are OK between me and my parents. They may be disappointed but nothing beats having a grand kid.And a healthy daughter.

Answer 3

first of all you need to tell your parents cuz in the end theyre going to be the ones that are still sticking by you even if they flip out on you. Second i think you need to maybe concentrate a little more on school and learning cuz you have a real bad problem spelling i mean if you cant spell and all that are u gonna be in it for the long haul to have a baby. i was 18 when i had mine 17 when i found out i finished school and will soon be attending college now that i am 23 with 3 kids. get an education so you can raise that child the right way go to your parents in case something happens to you medical wise and they have no idea whats going on you need to tell them

Answer 4

Sweetheart... you really need to tell someone if not your parents. You need medical care for your term and support to help you through this. Sorry about the problems your facing at home there, but they really need to know. The longer you wait, the harder it will be! Tell someone that you trust (an adult) and get through this. You, your child, and your family will be better off once things are out in the open. Don't wait! The sooner you deal with this, the better you'll feel. Stress is not good for you or your baby. Please don't wait until your showing and can't hide it anymore. You need to be under a doctors care with this to insure yours and the baby's health as soon as possible. Take a moment and relax, decide who to talk to first and how you think you should tell that person. This is not the end of the world, although you may feel that way at the moment. A child born is the most wonderful thing that will ever happen in this life. But be honest with yourself and what you want for your future. And remember your not alone. At least get to a clinic and ask for help and guidance. Many of them can help you with advice and breaking the news to your family. It helps to just talk to someone that can understand like the folks at a clinic or a school councilor. If nothing else, go to the nearest church if your not a member of one now, and talk to a preacher or just ask for advice to find support outlets/groups that can help you get through this. Local hospitals have information that can help you, and there you should be able to find someone to talk to... to help you understand your pregnancy and what to expect, what kind of care you need, and advice about dealing with your family. Mom and Dad will certainly love and support you through this, but you'll have to tell them first. Please take care and God Bless.

Answer 5

Well... they will find out eventually, but you need to get prepared yourself. Realize that them being upset is their right and only natural (think- in 17 years you could be in their shoes). So, don't use it at a time when you or they are mad, to get to them. Don't tell them when you are upset, and don't expect them or you to remain calm, and that's ok. But if you approach them, be honest, and let them know you need help (and not because you want to get child support or free day care kind of help), they will most likely listen and will be there. But either way, it is your job now, you are responsible for that baby, and no matter what happens, you have to respect your child AND yourself. Start thinking now about what you will need, what you will do for food, clothes, etc., for the baby, and remember the baby needs only you, not designer clothes and diapers. I could say a lot more, but it all comes to that- the baby needs you, and he or she is going to grow up before you know it, so enjoy this time while it lasts. The baby in your arms will be more important than anything else.
Having said that, you need to be careful for yourself, too. No matter how ward it is, it will get better if you stay true to you and the baby, and don't settle for less, ie, you may have to sacrifice now, but later it will pay off. Don't think for a minute you are stuck alone, broke, or anything like that for the rest of your life because of what is happening now. It's now, not 5 years from now, not 10 years from now. You have plenty of time to get on your feet, and you will. Just kep that in your mind and heart, you will get on your feet.
Take care and stay true...

Answer 6

Yes. You need all the support you can get. If it helps, find another adult first you trust and share with them.. Get their advice or even "practice" what you'd say to Mom and Dad first with this person. Then they could give you feedback. Ask if this person could be there with you for support. Whatever you do...DO NOT keep this to yourself. Be brave though as of now you are scared. Use that negative energy for something positive. You have a life inside you that needs you. Be good to yourself, to your baby and do the right thing.. Get help/support.
God bless you, your baby and your family(may they be patient and understanding no matter what)

Answer 7

This is not an easy Q, so don't accept the easy answers people will give you. It is normal for you to be scared, and eventually they will find out, but you are the one who decides when and how to tell them.

Please go to an adult you trust, such as your school guidance counsellor, church minister or rabbi, parent of a friend, or even a police officer in your community. Tell them exactly what you say in your Q above, adding details and explaining why you're afraid and what exactly you are afraid of. If they are a decent, kind-hearted human being with a concern for kids your age, they will help you figure out how and when to tell your family about this very difficult and wonderful condition you find yourself in. Let me know if I can help you more, but it's important for you to have someone on your side who is local and responsible.

Answer 8

Well if don't tell them their going to find out anyway and either way their are going to find out. If the father is going to be in the child's life then both of you should talk to our parents together and explain to them what is going on also tell them what you are planning on doing, by this I don't mean get married I simply mean working and supporting this baby and giving the baby as much love and care as possible. If the father is not going to be involved then you think about it and tell them what you plan on doing and let them know that you need all of their support and comprehension as they can possibly offer you. Don't expect them to take the answer with a smiling face but give them some time and hopefully they'll understand. If not their are all types of agencies that can help you through all of this process. think about it and I hope that everything works out , feel free to email me of you have more questions or simply need to talk to somebody GOOD LUCK!

Answer 9

This is a really tough issue for you, but one you can't ignore. Nature has a way of giving out information (you will start showing very soon). I believe it is better for you and for your relationship with your parents to tell them before they find out some other way. Your dad deserves to know as well. Please check all your options and decide what you are going to do before you tell your parents. If the father is involved then you need to discuss all of this with him before telling your parents (although you may not want him there when you are talking with your parents). On a different note, you need to get pre-natal care immediately. It sounds like you intend to keep the baby. I wish you well.

Answer 10

Tell them as soon as possible, and get it over with, face the music. I would like to know if you were aware of emergency contraception? It does not cause an abortion but prevents the egg from getting fertilitzed! However, there is an abortion pill available, that is very effective. Try looking at the Planned Parenthood website...will tell you everything.

Answer 11

You should tell them over the phone. Let it give a chance to sink in. Then come home after they have cooled off. They will come around to the idea of the baby. Take care. You can't run from them, because you will need them.

You know what? I was a teen Mother once. My mother told me that she already had a feeling I was pregnant. There is nothing we can really hide from our parents.
