how am i gonna tell everybody i'm pregnant?

Question

i just found out that i'm pregnant a week ago since i was feeling nausea and vomitting for 2 1/2 weeks. Now i just don't know how to tell my friends or my parents. they might flip since i'm not married yet

Answer 1

When I got pregnant the first time I was only 18 and not married. Best thing to do is to get it over with so you will stop stressing about it. Start with the person you think will be the most supportive. I told my mom first and she said she already knew it. Good Luck

Answer 2

While it's true that they might "flip" when you first tell them, the vast majority of parents are thrilled when they warm up to the idea of a grandbaby (seriously). Since your parents may feel like they let you down or something (not sure why they may not be thrilled from the get-go, so I'm guessing here....), why not write them a really well thought-out letter about how much they have meant you, the positive influence that they have had on your life and so and so forth and then towards the end talk about how you hope to pass these things onto their grandchildren and then say something like "which may be sooner than you think" or I don't know, you would know better and then they would ask and you could tell them about their new grandbaby.
Also, if you believe in God, I highly recommend praying to the Holy Spirit and asking Him to help you with what to say and to open your parents' hearts up to what you will tell them---God never lets you down when you invite Him into the conversation--I can't tell you HOW many times He's come around for me in those.

So, in conclusion, CONGRATULATIONS! That is wonderful news!!!!

Well in these days and times being a single parent or an unmarried couple is not odd. I think it is a natural shock to all family and friends when its an unexpected pregnancy but the reality is, that you are pregnant and you need proper care and their support to have a successful pregnancy. I would say the sooner the better you tell them so if there is any anxiety or stress associated with them knowing, it will come and go early in the pregnancy so that as your pregnancy progresses you can be happy and healthy. Funny thing when it comes to trying to hide a pregnancy, your baby tells your secret around 3-4 months as it begins to start showing off. Enjoy this precious gift, some woman never get to experience it and believe me, it is 1 in a Million!

Answer 4

First of all......Congrats!!!

Take a deep breathe, and just say it. It will be sooooo hard because I'm sure you won't want to hear anything negative but you will feel so much better after it is out in the open. the stress of how they might react will just be too much stress.

Be happy, you're bring a child into the world!! And even if some people are not thrilled at first....I'm sure they will come around soon enough.

Good luck and I hope it all goes okay!

Answer 5

Alot of people wait until the end of the first trimester. As far as them flipping because you are not married??? Oh well, nothing you can do about it now, just take it as a blessing, you wouldn't be pregnant if it weren't meant to be.

Answer 6

First i would tell my friends and then my parents, because most friends can keep a secret and after about two days tell your parents.

Answer 7

you should relax . Then sit at the table with a diner which u and make a annocement that you are ..pregant .They should understand your position ,and if they love you they will under stand you. hopefully respect your discusion.

Answer 8
