Well hopefully you are not underage and telling your parents this news. The best way to do it is just DO IT. Don't pull any punches.
Be honest about it.

The is no bet why to tell your parents,It all depends on how your parents personality is, if they are conservative like mine, they will be angry and cry, so the only way is to just tell them and take it as it is. Tell your mom first, because dads are a bit edgy on this subject, then just remember the will cry and be angry, but this too shall pass, and one day you will be glad you told then. At the end of the day, they are the people that will guide you in the right directions. Remember, a parent will never abandon their child, even through situations like this, it might feel so, but just give them a chance to absorb it. You have to remember, they are also just human, but I'm glad you are honest enough to tell them, because in the end that would be the thing your mom will cherish.
Good luck, its not gonna be easy

The best way is honestly and as soon as humanly possible.
I'd tell them when it is just you and them, rather than at a holiday gathering or something if you are very young and unmarried. If you are old enough to be on your own and are married, then be creative and have fun. I'm assuming you are young, though, as you posted in "adolescent."
If you are pregnant, you need to be taking prenatal vitamins and going to the doctor regularly.
They love you no matter what. Go tell them. You will need at least their emotional support or that of someone stable that you trust.

Does the father know? I suggest you think about all your options on what to do about the baby when it is born (abortion is not an option) Raise it yourself, with the father, adoption. Go to your parents with the father and be honest and open, letting them know that you do understand the consequences of your actions. It will probably be hard and scary to do but it does have to be done. Don't forget that there is another set of grandparents to tell as well, it took 2 of you to do this, They have the right to know to even if the father doesn't want anything to do with it.
Good Luck and may God be on your side.

Be honest and open. Now is not the time to lie about who the father is and how you got pregnant!!! HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY.
Before you tell them, have a plan for the future. If you are going to keep the baby, tell them how you plan to care for it, how you will provide for the baby, where the baby will live, ect. If you plan to give the baby up for adoption, I would check into adoption agencies before you tell your parents..and again that way you will have a plan!
Don't just tell your parents your pregnant and expect them to have the answers for you. Go to them with the answers and a plan.

It all depends on the situation? Is this going to be a happy surprise that they have been waiting years to hear? or, is this something that they most likely won't be happy with because your under age or something to that affect. It would be more helpful to you if you could add some additional details. Good luck to you and I hope that all goes well for you and your family.

1} take the actual pregnancy test and put it in a baggy.
2} get a small box
3} put a little bit of gift shred on the bottom of the box lay the
test in there and put more gift shred on top.
4} close the box and tape it shut.
5} wrap box and wait untill christmas eve or day to give it to
them and that way they have a great and unexpected suprise
for Christmas. get a big bow to put on box...

what i did was make sure i was positivley pregnant before i said anything. I was freaking out about it to, so i went to the doctor because i could be stressing for no reason. turns out i wasn't so i asked him to put me on the shot so no more scares. my friend did the same thing but one difference she was pregnant, and she just turned 17. she told her parents that she had somthing to tell them. sat them down and said mom dad im pregnant and i am positive about it, i went to the doctor and had a test. and the father is.....i think we all need to get together and talk this through. love you mom and dad and i am sorry. tell them as soon as you are positive. the longer you wait to tell them the more upset they will be.

First of all we should never get involve in unsafe situatuions like this.Secondly introduce the boy with your parents if its possible.Third ask your parents that you want to get married & if everthing fails tell them by making a really sad face & keep your eyes down at the carpet because I have lions in my house & when I see that they are angry I dont make a eye contact with them.(;-)

Depends on your age if your under 16 I would suggest talking to Grandma or a favorite aunt first. Over 16 well you just tell them.
