How did you tell your parents you were pregnant? My fiance and I are both 20 and we've been together for 4 years this oct. Best friends for 6. We both work full time and we're moving into a house we've rented this oct. Some people say we've accomplished a lot for our age. However, I'm afraid that because of my age, i will never hear the end of it from our parents. We're good people, we dont do drugs and we're also in school. We feel that the baby is a blessing but i know no one else will see it as that. What should i do? How do i tell my parents?

Just tell them. There is no easy way. I wish you all the luck in the world. I think you will be a wonderful mom. If your parents don't accept it, then it's their loss.

I think you maybe surprised your parent my be very happy for you since you both feel this is a blessing then why wouldn't your parents. After all it's not as though you are children. My advice is to do what you feel is best for you and if your parents aren't happy now they will be when they see that beautiful baby that they can spoil then send home to you. lol. trust me I've been there. Just don't wait to long to tell them because if they have to find out for them selves they will probably feel very hurt. Good luck and best wishes for a healthy baby.

I was faced with the knowledge that my family wouldn't be as happy as I when my husband and I conceived our first, it's hard to know that someone is unhappy about your blessing. There is nothing that you can do to change the way they feel. It sounds like you know what you want and that you have a plan on how to get there. Just tell them that you have great news which You are Very excited about. Let them know that you have things planned out and that you are excited to let them know that they will get to be grandparents. Find all the great things and point them out, don't be negative or bring up the tough side of things, let them do that and just make sure you know your answers in advance, it shows them that you know what you want and that you are happy. Good luck!

Well these days, 20 isn't that young anymore. You both are obviously young adults and you seem mature. Just plan a nice dinner with your parents and your bf and tell them. You got to do it sooner or later, it's not like you can hide of for a few months.

congratulations! every child is a blessing. you and your fiance just need to sit your parents down and tell them the truth...sooner rather than later because it's much more complicated when they hear it from someone else. parents have their children's lives 'mapped out' so to speak, and this may not have been what they had in mind for you, but it's your life and they should be happy for you. if not, they'll be the one's missing out. best of luck in the future, from one jessica to another.

Tell them - just tell them - you are going to be living on your own in a month, you are an adult - as long as the baby is a blessing to you, be happy and don't worry so much what others think. I understand it's your folks, but it's your baby that will be living in your house and you will be married if he's your fiance. Enjoy your little bundle of joy when he/she gets here! :)

sounds like the two of you really have it together. like your first responder said: there's no easy way of going about it. Just tell them. it probably won't be as bad as you think. and even if it is, just know that you are a good person, you are in school, and you are wanting what's best for each other and your baby. good luck and God Bless

My daughter was only seventeen when I asked her if her period was due (because she was being a zitch!), and she told me "It was due three months ago."
We are fine. Sure there was a little tension, but we are just fine, and I love that kid (he's 3 now) as much as any of my own, and I'm proud of all my daughter is accomplishing.
Your parents love you (I hope!), and they'll be a bit upset (hey, they wanted you married to prince charming and living in a castle of gold!), but you'll all get through it just fine! Your mom will probably have the baby shower!
And congratulations!

When are you going to make Ms and Mr-Mr and Mrs? Kids change alot of things, like your mom and dad are now grandma and grandpa...Kids are a financial, emotional, time consuming endeavor. Is mom and dad going to be your full time sitters which means giving up their plans and income. You sound spoiled to me by not being able to come right out and say it. I was able to announce both my pregnancies with joy and even some laughter. You sound like you did an oh no....

I called my mom on my cell phone and we just began to talk. Then all of a sudden said "Mom, I'm pregnant." I was only thirteen. I couldn't hold it in anymore. When I was sixteen I wrote my parents a note. But when I got pregnant with my twins, they guessed it.
