Bless your heart you must be under enormous stress. Need to confide in one parent or both. Which ever one you feel will be most supportive. Also need to get some prenatal care, makes for healthier mommy and baby. This can be a hard time for you and at the same time one of the most enjoyable times of your life. Best of luck to you

Lori A has no clue how you feel!! Just because you are scared to tell your parents does not mean you are to immature to raise a child. I became pregnant my senior year and didn't tell my parents until i was 4 months. I went to a doctor on my own and took vitamins. I just waited until the right time to tell them. When you feel it's right then you should tell them. Don't consider adoption unless you are absolutely sure you can't raise this child in a healthy lifestyle. Teenagers have babies all the time and things turn out just fine. I have a wonderful life with my daughter who is almost 2 and her father who is now my husband. We have both have successful jobs and are continuing college as well. I would say having a baby made us more mature than most kids our age and we have a better life than most our age. How many 19 year olds are making $75,000 and are still in college and doing it without help from parents. Don't get me wrong, our parents are still very much a part of our lives but we don't depend on them for anything except love and support. This is something you need to think long and hard about. You are not immature, if nothing else, you are more mature now because you are going to have to grow up. And you are asking for help on what to do and not asking for abortion tips. Congratulations. You have no idea how this will change your life!

It does depend on your body type on when you will show. But the symptoms that come along with pregnancy will be a sign to your parents well before you are showing. You really need to sit down and tell your mother at least. I know it's hard and scary but trust me you will need her support. For all the people that have posted here before that are telling you to grow up and get an abortion, don't take their advice. You do what you feel is right. It's YOUR decision. No, 11th grade is not a good time to have a child at all, but it happened and now you need to make some decisions. Does the baby's father know? You really will need your parents support and with their support you could raise this baby and be perfectly happy. Plenty of people do it all the time. Just don't be scared. Be proactive and talk to your parents. The will get over their issues in time and it will be fine. My mother was upset with me when I got pregnant with my first and I was 24 and engaged, but shortly after she got over it and was the best person for support that I had. She was even in the delivery room when I had my son. Please take care! Just remember it's your decision on what you want to do. Don't let anyone pressure you into anything.

girl you have a very long way to go before your baby is born and anything could happen like miscarriage you are so early in pregnancy just don't get stressed out because its bad for you and the baby most likely you won't have a miscarriage only some women do so far i'm doing good almost 4 months pregnant but you need to tell your parents right away it don't matter what they say or think its your life you can do what you wan't i got pregnant when i was 17 and now today i'm 18 when i first told my mom she wasn't mad at all she ws just in shock and when she told my dad he wasn't mad just a little disappointed but he got over it and their both happy for me i was a little over a month when i found out i was pregnant please don't get an abortion and don't give the baby up for adoption ;( that would be wrong please take care of your own baby cause your the one who got yourself into this you should be responsible enough to take care of it oh and if your really really fat you won't show until your like about 7 or 8 months or 9 months i'm showing already and i'm proud if your small you'll start showing around 2-3 months good luck

It depends on your body as to how long it will be before you start to show. But around the end of your 3rd month you should notice things starting to fit more snugly and perhaps show.
You should tell your parents as soon as you can, because you really should be getting some pre-natal care. Start taking vitimins if you have not already. If your parents refuse to help you, talk to a school counselor about your options or call your local office of the state family and children's services department.

Hon, if you aren't mature enough to tell your parents immediately you are in NO WAY ready or mature enough to raise a child. I hope you are, at a minimum considering giving it up for adoption to a mature and loving couple.
Geez....
When you will show depends on you. There is no certain time. Some show within weeks, and some can hide it for most of the nine months.
By 3 or 4 months almost all women are clearly pregnant, unless you are fat, then you might be able to conceal it a bit longer.
I'm serious....you need to tell them now, at a minimum so you get good prenatal care so your baby can be healthy, and also to discuss your options before it is too late to have much choice.

Tell your parents now! When you'll show depends on many factors, but I'd say you'll show around 12 - 16 weeks or 3 - 4 months. Some people don't show until 5, 6, or 7th month, but if you wait that long to tell your parents they will be mad about the pregnancy AND mad that you waited so long!

Blame the guy responsible for this, just tell them who it was, tell them how long u been pregnant, and then ask them what to do?, raise the baby, u can't i guess cuz u will hav 2 go to college soon, or get an abortion, and kill your child, u shouldn't have done that, that guy is really irresponsible, shoulda thought of using a condom. I would rather die than knowing my parents just had sex for the hell of it and not want me!, maybe u should think about how your kid would feel.

You could start to show a little bit as early as 8 weeks. You may want to consider telling mom and dad so that you may receive the care you should be receiving for you and your unborn baby. And don't worry so much about telling them because there are worse things in the world you could be doing. I am a mom of 4 including a 16 year old and I know if she told me she was prenant it would be hard at first for us to accept but we would love her the same and we would welcome her baby. Good Luck!

I would say it depends on your frame, with my first I was 18 and 5'1 and weighed about 90 95 Ibs, I started showing about 2-3 months with a bulge in the lower belly, it will be obvious if you wear tight shrts and suddenly start wearing big ones, I suggest you tell him, see what he says, then tell your parents me my mom is the more understanding one I was scared to death to tell either but I told my mom first not in the best way but I told her, I had waited until she was at work, got spare keys to her car had my boyfriend come with me and I bought a card and stuck it in her steering wheel and broke the news to her she was going to be a grandma and apoligized if I had dissapointed her and that I lover her no matter what she was going to say, I told her when I was at about 2 months. Good luck
