I am so thankful and glad to hear that you are going to keep the baby. That is wonderful news. I counsel at a pregnancy help clinic and the question you ask is very normal, It can be scary to have to tell your parents- but let me tell you normally they will accept it, and be very supportive- it may not seem so at first, because of news that they hear. Make sure both of you are together when you tell both sets of parents. Be prepared for some silence at first. Be honest and upfront, that is the best. If you need help in more detail or just someone to talk to during your pregnancy, you can email me. Sometimes that can be more personal then over this site,My email is on my profile.

do it together sit down and have dinner and then towards the end of the meal just say that we have had a lovely evening but there is another reason why we are hear and i want to tell you something that may upset you but i want everyone and the situation to stay calm ok i need to tell you that (boyfriend name) and i have been talking about our options and we just found out that im pregnant and we want to keep the baby thats what i did, but it was harder to tell his mum as soon as sher looked at me she knew and she cried and then it was even harder the 3rd time around but don't put it off it only gets harder
hope this helps and good luck im about to have number 3

ok for the idiot who says u can die at 17 while having a baby is a complete moron!! dont listen to him. ur age has nothing to do with having a child and the risk of u dieing. but anyway.... u r 17 and the fact that u had sex does not make u a bad person.... u getting pregnant at 17 does not make u a bad person... u wanting to keep the baby makes u a GREAT person.... it shows that u r taking responsibilities for ur actions... be honest with ur parents, i got pregnant with my son at 18 i was married but... i ended up divorcing shortly after my son was born... my parents supported all the decisions that i made and urs will too.. just be honest and tell them how u feel... good luck and congrats!!!!

argh
why is it there is always an idiot in the bunch??
You and your b/f are being adult about this pregnancy and taking care of your resposibilities ... well done and congrats!!!!
I too was a young mother and had my daughter at age 16 and had to tell my parents i was pregnant, sure theyre going to blow up and yell and scream but they will eventually get over it and welcome the bundle of joy into the world, if they dont ... well who needs them, you'll have your own family to take care for and love.
I've been through what you are going through right now, now i'm happily married with 2.5 children and wouldnt change it for the world ... well done and again ... congrats!!!

Both my step sisters told their mom by writing a letter ( they were both 17, but at different times). Their mom still blew up but atleast it got the situation out in the open!!

congratulations! first of all don't waste time beating yourself up over it! its not worth it. i got pregnant at 18, and believe me it will not be as bad as you think. even if they object to it at first, once you have that beautiful baby everything will change. just sit them down and tell them as soon as possible, have your boyfriend there for support, and to show your parents that he wants to be there. let them know that even thought it wasn't planned you want to take responsibility for it and still continue with your other responsibilities. and please try to stay in school!! its so worth it in the end! take care and good luck!

They;re going to figure it out for themselves, so the two of you should just sit down with both sets of parents and use your words. You may be pleasantly surprised.

If you are scared to tell them in person write them a long detailed letter. I know people who have done that before when they are afraid to tell there parents that they are pregnant.
