Pregnancy can only be hidden for up to the first three or four months. Your best option if you want to hide it is wait until a couple weeks before you think you are going to start "showing" and tell your parents then. (Some people don't have syptoms when they are first pregnant) Also, you could wear big sweaters but that would be a little obvious since it's the summer time. But, is you really want things to be right with your parents then tell them now. If you go to them first instead of trying to hide it even though they might not have wanted you to have sex they wont lose all trust in you and they will be there to help you with your pregnancy.

You shouldn't hide something like that from your parents. I am speaking from experience. It could possibly make them feel alienated adding more negativity to the initial reaction of finding out that you are pregnant. I know it's hard but you should just tell them as soon as possible so that they can help you and be your support system. After all, you can only hide it for so long and in the long run you might feel like not only did you deny them the chance to help you but you also denied yourself and the baby. You should tell them. It'll be okay. They may be upset at first but in time the love they have for you will spill over into love for your baby too. Good Luck.

Jess,
I think I just answered you other question about the pill...I'm not sure what is going on in your young life but it sounds like you are definitely in need of some real help. If you even suspect you (or a friend) are pregnant you need to see a doctor ASAP. You need to get all of the medical info and you need to be aware of all of your options.
If you don't know if you are pregnant or not, go get an over-the-counter test and take it (I would take 2). If you are pregnant TELL your parents (or an aunt or teacher or SOMEONE TRUSTWORTHY) right away. They will be able to get you the help and support you need.
I put some links to some websites, don't be afraid to call your local planned parenthood or any of the hot lines, they talk to people in your situation everyday so they are the best people to go to for advice about how to tell your parents and to help you through all of the decisions you are about to make.
Good Luck Jess.

jess, first of all your thinking is wrong, meaning they will find out eventually and to have or not have this baby, your going to need help, and someone supportive to talk too. if your wanting to keep this baby the worst thing you could do is try to hide i by not eating nutricious foods. i think you should find the time to sit your parents down and telll them exactly how it went they will be more at ease then if you dont tell them and something happens and they end up being mortified. plus you need to keep there trust, you will need them to help you and you never know maybe they will take it better than you think, hope this helps some, christina***

You really can't, not forever. Eventually the baggy shirts and unbuttoned tight pants won't cover it. Unless you can visit a sympathetic relative or friend for months, your parents will notice. And what will do do with the baby? Adoption is easiest if pre-planned. And what if you change your mind and want to keep the baby? Sometimes that happens; would you want to tell them then?

you can't, but you can tell them and get fantastic support.

don't believe anyone who says that adoption is easy. it is NEVER easy and you'll end up grieving the loss of your child for the rest of your life.

most parents are surprised or shocked at first, but then delighted especially once their precious grandchild is born. here is a letter to help your parents understand and help keep them from pressuring you to surrender your baby to adoption like mine pressured me: http://www.keepyourbaby.com/special_message_for_grandparents.html

i've included more links to sites to help young mommies, below, but http://www.girlmom.com/ and http://www.youngmommies.com/ are great.

and Congratulations on your Pregnancy!!! Many many older women who have waited too long and are now infertile would LOVE to be in the position you are in! Congrats! Enjoy your baby and BE HAPPY and celebrate yourself and a woman and a mother!

Dont worry about it. i know everyone is saying for you to do this but you really should tell them. You need parental support...i meen seriosly....i dont think you want to get rid of your baby once you have him i mean it is YOUR child. you have to face it.

No they will find out and be even more mad. My cuz ended up getting preg on purpose at 17 and told her mom in a note. Not a good idea. Tell them in person.

Please don't do that! My son's ex hid it for 7 months from her family, my son, and everyone else. She got no pre-natal care all that time. An observant school counselor finally realized the truth. EVERYONE'S world was turned upside down.

Just face up to it now! PLEASE!!!!!! What you are afraid of happening is no where near as dangerous\scary as what you are trying to deny!
