You should tell your work right away, so they know and can be prepared throughout your pregnancy, they shouldn't mind.
Sit your parents down and tell them over dinner or in a quiet area. If you're young they may respond differently than you like, but just remember you're going to be a mommy, so act like an adult no matter what their reaction is. The sooner you tell them, the sooner they can accept it and support you.

The best thing to do is be honest. With yourself and with people around you. If you are happy with the news then go ahead and don't be afraid to share it. If you think something wrong will come out of it with your parents reaction just know that they will still love you no matter what. Well, with work they can't get rid of you for the reason of you being pregnant. If it is a hazardous job you should consider leaving the job anyway, until the baby is born. Dealing with hazardous materials can be harmful to your unborn fetus. I guess you will learn if these people are gonna be worth going back to work for after.

I was in the same situation, only i told my parents at 5 months. It was difficult because my parents were very strict. I came to my parents with my 2 sisters sat them down and told them together. The reaction wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. As for the job, I believe that is a need to know basis. I would tell them after probation is over. I would ask my boss for the packet of policies. Check out the Maternity Leave section of the packet. GOOD LUCK.. and Congratulations!!

It depends on how old you are. If you're worried about your parents finding out, I'm guessing you're pretty young. Ummmm I would sit them down and tell them, "Mom and Dad, before you jump down my throat, I need you to hear me out...I'm pregnant, but I really need your support and love at my time in need...." or something along those lines. Their initial reaction will probably be rage or disappointment, but you should remain calm and just explain to them that you know that maybe it isn't the right time to have a baby, but you still need them to help you out. As for your job, you should tell them right away, I suppose, so they know you will need to take leave in the future. Good luck, I wish you and the baby all the best. You should also pray for the Lord to help you and guide you, if it helps at all....

I heard my babys heartbeat at 6 weeks by skill of vaginal ultrasound then at 8 weeks no heartbeat develop into heard and that i had a miscarriage 2 days later, i'd attempt to prepare your self mentally for the worst-case issue yet flow get yet another ultrasound first by technique of a diverse known practitioner, i recognize it isn't undemanding yet be sturdy :)

well it depends how old you are, if you are a minor then tell your parents right away. I just had a baby and I waited until i was 12 weeks so that I was out of the danger zone of a miscarriage

u do not elaborate if u are married or not---but I think the first place I would start would be with your husband/live in b/f or significant other......unless you are a minor child---your parents should not be the first to find out....With that said--if u are a minor child---yes your parents need to be told first...Have u thought about what YOU want to do??? You may wish to think about this yourself before spilling the beans....good luck and congrats!!

Tell me them as soon as possible so that you will reduce your stress and have their support in developing a plan for the your future. You can tell your job after you've spoken with your parents.

wrap the test up and give it to both of your parents for x-mas haha then you don't have to explain, and just tell your work that your preggers now so they can plan out what to do. do not stress everything will work out fine :)
