Tell them the truth,be honest,don't hide anything, it shows maturity,and they might learn to trust your judgement,and let you make more decisions without a lot of negative imput,besides the baby is a gift from God,not a mistake,they should love the child,their grandchild,,even though they may not approve of the father.

WOW - this is tough. If you were my daughter, I would hope you wouldn't feel like it was going to be a dreaded revelation! This really depends on your parents and how they normally react to stressful events. It's sad how some people want to make you feel bad when the miracle of life happens to a person, but even with my in laws - and we're married - it's always like - okay - how do we break it to them because they are going to be mad at us. They need to get over their predjudices but this will take time. People don't who have issues adjusting to life changes like this will normally come around once they see baby's face and hold baby in their arms - then they are captivated and fall in love with them - usually. Your parents may not be mature enough to handle this but ideally - you and your boyfriend would really be able to tell them together. If you're afraid your parents can't accept that then consider getting a pastor or trusted counselor or social worker to meet with all of you as a group to "break the news." I think it's awful - no matter what choices were made that made a pregnancy possible - when it happens it's beautiful, a miracle and one of the greatest things that happens to a woman. You need to be cared for, nurtured and pampered. If you're parents can't give you that - you need to find additional assistance from a crisis pregnancy center where they help women in challenging situations by providing baby stuff, opportunities for friendship with others, training on different aspects of taking care of a baby, etc.....

wow. sounds familiar. my parents hated my boyfriend. they just barely started speaking again after 3 1/2 years. i dont know what the best way is i told them over the phone. my mom was devastated and thought i did it on purpose to piss her off. i did get pregnant on purpose but not to hurt her. dont worry your parents will grow to love your child. after all the baby is their grandchild - as for the boyfriend who knows - if he treats you right they should be happy for you

you might want to make sure that you have someone who can mediate the situation so that it doesnt get out of hand. if they dont approve of the father i wouldnt have him there when you tell them.

Start talking about the stork, and how it is very random who the stork delivers babies to.

the sooner the better...just tell them, and remind them it will be his child, but their grandchild
