Answer 1

Tell him his little angel is going to give him another little angel. He will be shocked probably at first but I am sure it will be fine.

Answer 2

Hello there, I too am 19 and anticipating a youngster. My husband is 21. We got pregnant correct before our wedding in August. We hadn't deliberate on having youngsters for a minimum of a yr as we are each completing tuition up this year and wanted to buy a apartment and all that jazz first. The main thing to fully grasp is that matters don't constantly go as we plan, and that's ok. I'd discover a specific method to tell him given that a little one is a special blessing! I'm sure he'll be none rather then extremely joyful; albeit, it should take somewhat bit of changing to on each your parts. Congratulations for your youngster and i hope all goes well with telling your boyfriend. If any one treats you badly considering you might be young and are pregnant, i'd are trying to not worry about them. The fundamental factor is you and your youngster proper now. Noone could make you believe inferior without your consent. 19/20 is just not that younger simply for having children, it is just inside the final 50 years that the typical age for having youngsters has long past up from 18-22 to traditionally around 24-30 currently. This alteration has occured frequently considering the fact that women are looking to build careers more so and placing having a household off except later. There is nothing incorrect with that, and there's additionally nothing unsuitable with having children when you find yourself younger. I do know you'll be a great mother, you already sound so dedicated to your youngster, and that is what truly concerns. Do not be ashamed of your information, this is some thing just right! You two had been blessed with a youngster just a little sooner than you anticipated. Pleasant needs together with your being pregnant and telling your boyfriend:)

Dear sis,
I am very much happy about your decision to keep the baby.. also your courage is excellent. Talking about farthers, they all same and think their daughters are still their little angles.. thats natural. Anyway you are the only person who know about your father well, right? What makes him happy, sad, angry etc..
My suggestion is choose a time which your farther could here and understand you the most. And tell him about your problem. A little bit of tears would help you a lot, coz fathers never want to see their daughters crying. BUT tell him strongly that you need to keep the baby and YOU will NOT be a LOOSER and will definitely win your life even with the baby. Ask him will he be always your side! Apologies him if he thinks that you have done a wrong. But tell him nothing could apart you from him and you'll need him forever.
It might be very tough in first few minutes you start to tell it. He might get mad over you, he might cry also might not talk for few days even but always remember that he is your father and he always needs the best for you. So have patience all the time. Always think about the relife you'll get after you tell this to him. REMEMBER to keep the eye contact ALWAYs possible.. it'll show that you are serious!
I feel you are really lucky to live in a society which accepting babies before the marrage... if that was me, either my father would have kill me or suiside him self.. In our society nobody accept a girl with a kid and even boyfriends too dont accept that they did it. So you are lucky and I wish the good luck you to get through this.
Have a wonderful baby!!!

Good Luck sis!

Answer 4

I think you should come straight out with him, earlier rather than later so no-one else gets the chance to tell him

I found i was pregnant when i was 17 and had my son 2 months before my 18th birthday, i didnt know it at the time but I have since found out that my mum didnt think I would cope with the strains of having a baby and she was worried about me

She has since said that she is very proud of me for the way I have coped with things and i now have a very happy little boy who is 20 months old and I am back at university studying, you need to be 100% sure in your own mind that you could cope with a baby incase you and your boyfriend split up as that happened to me and it made things hard for a while but like you i am a very determined person and i managed to get through it ok

Explain to your dad that you can still get an education as well as being a mother and that you won't give up on yourself, but I am sure he will realise that you can get through this

I hope this helps

Good luck and congratulations on your pregnancy

Answer 5

I think if you sit him down and say what you have said above that this is the best way to tell him. Dont expect him to jump for joy initally but I am sure he will come round. Being pregnant at 19 is not the same as being pregnant at 14 so you may be fearing a negative response unneccessarily. Also, having a baby does change your life, butit does not mean that you still can't acheive, go to college, or have a life - you just will need a bit more planning and help along the way. Good luck x

Answer 6

Well, calmly to start. You pretty much have determined his response because of his fears of you turning into your mother. A woman who bailed when responsibility became present. Explain to him that you're going to finish school and have the support of a loving father (him) to help you through. Listen to his feelings too. He may lash out at first, expect it, just let him release the energy. Try to stay as calm as possible, you know he's just worried about his daughter, the meaning of his existence. After alittle while and released steam, he'll come around and acknowledge how proud he is of you, and also that he's going to support your decision to keep the baby. Things might be better if your boyfriend comes along and speaks up about his happiness in becoming a father. Or it may be wise for you and your father to be in private so your father doesn't feel pressured into accepting the circumstance and at the same time feel like he has to be happy about it. You know best what will work and what simply will not. Good luck sweety and congratulations.

Answer 7

I think you should just tell him when the time is right you will know
I know what you mean I am Daddy's little girl also and I was so worried what my dad would think of me but you know what my dad is a very happy proud gram pa now of a beautiful 2 month old baby boy. it is the best thing that has happened to my whole family.trust me you sound smart and it sounds like you have a good relationship with your father so you maybe surprised at how over joyed he may be and become as the months go by. congrats and don't sweat this trust me all gram pas come around

Answer 8

when i was 18 i found out i was preg and it was hard to tell by dad i he was upset but after he saw my daughter and I at the hospital it all went away he was young when he had me and it wasn't my 1st time to tell him i was preg i had a miscarriage about 6 months or 7 months b4 that so i had to let him down twice.. yes it was with the same guy we are now married. but i think you and your b/f should sit down and tell him with another person u have already told like mom or best friend or aunt or grandma it will be hard and you will cry but he wont love you any different.
Good Luck
and if you need someone to talk to just e mail me

Answer 9

well I was 19 when i got pregnant too. In my fathers eyes i was a perfect little angel too. I think all girls are their fathers apples of their eyes. :) im 23 now with a healthy 3 year old boy and a daughter due in 3 days. It will be very hard at first to tell him of course,but in the long run your father is going to be so happy he will have a grandson. Now my father loves his grandson soooo much and couldn't live life without him they are so close. anyway just dont have someone else tell him but yourself, My mother-in-law spilt the beans to him and that was bvery hurtfull to hear from someone else other than your daughter. so tell him in a calmly matter and let him know that you will be ok and happy and responsible. good luck

Answer 10

Tell him exactly what u just told us,its perfect,the truth and rational...When i was 19 i got pregnant and had to tell my daddy and my mom,my mom didnt take it well at all but my daddy was very reassuring and understanding..I expalined to him that I know that i was young and not married but me and my now hubby were in love and that this was gods plan and that we would make it together and to not worry,that everything would be ok and that i was still his little girl...Let him know that u are never going anywhere and that u will finish school and will be a very good mother to your baby *and of course tell him the man u love will be there and loves u and this baby already very very much* and that u just need his good advice and support right now..Good Luck with everything and congrats!!!
