What should I do?

Question

I may be pregnant but not sure yet but I am ready for it if I am. However I am afraid my parents will send me out of the house if I am as they already warned me about it. What should I do if I am? Should I tell them when I know I am straight away or should I wait until I start to show up? I am really afraid to tell them as I am still at school (University). Any advice please? Thanks

Moreover can anyone give me some help how I will tell them

I am almost 20

Answer 1

First, find out IF you are preg. You may be stressing for no reason. Second, if you are, then talk to your parents. They might not react how you think... but also give them time to get over the shock. Tell them you want their advice ( you don't necessarily have to take it).
Weigh your options. Good luck

Answer 2

Firstly-relax. It will all work out okay. I reccomend you wait a while. Buy a pregnancy test kit. Wait and make sure the baby is surely in there before you cause any sort of uproar. Once you are positive you are pregnant, find a time when your parents are at ease. Sit down and say that what you are about to tell them may come as a large shock. Tell them you are pregnant right out, them let them have a few minutes to let it all soak in. Hopefully, your parents will understand what difficulties you are/will going/go through and will support you. However, if there is alot of shouting involved, try to tell them you feel ready, are prepared to take what comes. Don't walk out or anything like that, because you will need your parents to help you with the gestation/birth of your baby. Once all has calmed down, prepare yourself for motherhood. I suggest you talk with your mother about parenting- you wil definatly need some help! To answer your question staright out- No, do not tell your parents immediatly. Wait, as I said. I am very glad you are ready. Good Luck an I hope if there is a baby, it is born safely and lives a long, happy, healthy life.:)

First find out if you are but as soon as you find out for sure tell your mother first. All parents have made threats of you better not get pregnant but a real loving parent will never turn their back on their own. The reason we make these remarks is because after you have a child your life will come to an end. good for some but if not ready for being a parent it will be hard. All your time will nolonger be for you it will be fore the child. Good luck but remember don't keep it to yourself let them know.

That's tough one to answer because I don't know your parents, so I don't know how they would react. But I'll sure try. As far as waiting until you show to tell them, I think they will never know when you found out that you were pregnant, just don't wait too long. But remember that a big tummy isn't the only sign of pregnancy, so they (especially your mom) may notice anyway. As far as what you should do... Don't EVER let ANYONE make you fell like you have to let go or have bad thoughts about your baby. (s)he will be the most important person in your life. Compared to him/her no else even matters! How to tell them... well here's a good idea if they go to church... my aunt told my grandma she was pregnant right before she got out of the car to go to work. So she had to go inside or she would be late, and it would give her mom time to cool off. So then she told my grandma that she wanted her to tell my grandpa. So my grandma waited until Sunday when they were in church. And right in the middle of a prayer she leaned over to him and whispered that their daughter was pregnant. That way he had to contain himself and sit in silence while they finished the prayer. lol Just a little tip, don't break it to them by saying "your gonna be grandparents" My mother is so excited about my baby, but not so much the grandma thing. ;) I hope I helped Good luck! And congrats on your little miracle!!

First and foremost, find out if you are pregnant from a licensed obstetrician (OB/GYN). Then, if you are, make sure you have info on how you will care for your baby, read up on pregnancy care, raising a child, pediatricians, daycare or other childcare options for when you are at work or school, how you will pay for the child's needs (diapers, clothing, doctors, wipes, bottles, etc.) and if you can't afford it, then check with your local Medicaid/food stamp office and your WIC office (usually in the Health Department) to make sure you have solid funds and such with which to help support you and your child, and just make sure your parents know that while yes, you may be young, you will love and care for this child, because he/she is YOUR child, just like you are their child. Let them know that you know this whole having a baby thing wasn't the wisest decision you've ever made, but that it is happening nonetheless, and that you would like their emotional support in this difficult time for you. After all, parents are supposed to love unconditionally, right?

Hi. First off, you should use protection to prevent against pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Having a child is a huge responsibility, and you shouldn't just jump into having one.
That said, if you are pregnant, begin taking prenatal vitamins right away. You can buy them at your local drug store and you take only one each day. You need this for your baby. It contains folic acid, too, which is extremely important, especially now, in preventing some birth defects like spina bifida.
Drink plenty of milk, 4 cups a day(one litre). This is very important, as is a healthy diet with a vareity of food from the food guide.
Go to your doctor and get tested for pregnancy and stds..for yours and your baby's sake. You will need to go to a doctor throughout this pregnancy, and your family doctor will refer you to a obstetrician.
As for telling your parents, just let them know that you know it's not the road they wanted your life to take, but you're going that route. Tell them you are keeping your baby, and that you hope they aren't disappointed in you. I'm sure they will be shocked, but they will get over it. Very quickly, too, when they realize how soon they'll be holding their little grandbebe!
Good luck with this and take care of yourself.
Hope I've helped! :)

Answer 7

i think u should wait a few weeks before telling them, that will give u time to think about it and what u might say to them. when u tell them just say "i am pregnant" give them time to react and brace yourself for what they might say. be mature and wait until they calm down. ur parents might have an idea of what to do. if they dont' want u to live in the house be ready to find somewhere else to live. find out if u are pregnant and then give urself a few weeks, good luck hun

Answer 8

Find out for sure. If you are, congratualtions and good luck. Adoption worked for me. First find out then tell your parents, they may be more understanding than you think and might even help you with the child if you want to keep it.

Some schools have day care centers, it's tough but if I can get through it, you can, too.

Answer 9

Listen, this is a difficult situation for everyone involved. Tell them straight out and don't add to it by waiting. Be direct and say the situation out. This might mean that your university days are over and it is time to get yourself a job and an apartment and start taking care of yourself. You are an adult now and you are responsible for this child of yours if you plan on keeping it. If you plan on giving it up, then it will take a bit of time out of your life but you might be able to go on and continue your education.

Above all, don't expect them to give up their lives and care for your child. This is your responsibility - time to buck up and take responsibility and handle your business. But don't wait and tell them right away when you find out if it is true. If it isn't - it is time to start making sure this doesn't happen again.

Answer 10

Your going to a University, you need to be sure, then decide if you want to keep the child or start shopping for a good couple that can't have their own children. That life is in your hands.
