I'm 9w4d but have yet to tell my friends and family the great news; I'm not sure my mother will be best pleased at first, as it was unplanned although I'm in a secure relationship with the father and we are more than able to look after the lil' one when they arrive.
My plan is to just get on with it and tell them later tonight but I was just wondering how you all went about it and what reaction you were received with.

I hope that you are married - if not - getting knocked up is a bad idea.
Here is how I told my father-in-law: "Sir, I knocked up your daughter."
father-in-law (looking up from his drink at the bar): "It had better be the one that you are married to."

Well, if it is something that he understands is is not normal and he feels as though it is not normal, then you should help him to deal with it privately,. Why add embarrassment to the mix. Pornography does not make you a pedophile, it is really a means to immediate gratification. It is an area where you can become immediately successful, after a bad day, a fight with you significant other, are even being frustrated in general. Quite often the trigger for an urge, IS NOT sexual in nature. It isn't Pam Anderson, or Beyonce, that sends you into a tailspin. it is your job, or an argument. Pedophilia is something completely different, and I don't adhere to the idea that porn leads to rape either. It is an outlet for emotional distress, the problem is if you feel it is wrong and I do, it leads to more distress through guilt. so its a catch 22. Go easy, when hubby is frustrated, be his outlet, open your blouse a little. Sit on his lap, tell him you love him and that you think he's hot. It will distract him from fantasy and lead him to reality.

My hubby and I had been together for 10 years and married for 6 last year so we thought the time was right to start a family.
I fell pregnant in September and it was our 10 year Anniversary mid September so we got both sets of parents round and cooked a meal.
After the meal, we got the champagne out and said we were doing a toast for the last 10 years and to the next 10 years when their Grandchild would be 10! Of course I never got any champers!
They were all totally shocked and absolutely thrilled. There was lots of laughs and lots of tears of happiness. It was amazing.
Good luck with telling your mum. I'm sure she will be shocked at first but she will be happy that she is going to be a grandmother. If not she has 7 months to get used to it!

Take a bottle of champagne (and orange juice!) and tell them as celebratory news! After all how can they not be happy! If you tell them all sheepishly then you have something to be ashamed of which you haven't! It is going to be a shock of course but this is the way I did it and it worked out really well (have a really strict father and actually he took it better than my mother!) Do it tonight as you plan and tomorrow you will wonder what you were worrying about. You do not need stress at this time in your life - and this will be a weight off your shoulders. They have another 30 or so weeks to get used to the idea and by then when your baby arrives he/she will be spoiled to bits by his/her doting grandparents! Good luck!

I was 20 years old when i got pregnant the first time (unmarried) but in a great relationship . I phoned my mum at her work and asked if she was up for some knitting lol , she guessed and was totally ecstatic , then i had to ask her to tell my dad i was so worried about letting him down , he was in a strop for a couple of weeks but he soon came around and doted on my baby girl when she arrived .. Bless him he passed 3 years later and only saw my first 2 daughters , now i have 4 !

I asked my Dad what he was doing in early May (when the baby was due), and when he said he didn't know, I asked him if he fancied being a Granddad (for the first time!) - he was thrilled to bits that it was him I'd told first. With my second one, I said to my Mum, "You'll never guess who's pregnant!" - she did guess, correctly!
What I'm trying to say is, keep it light, try to wait for an opportune time, and just show her how delighted you both are at your wonderful news. Congratulations and good luck!

My boyfriends dad has high blood pressure and his mom insisted we not tell him. I hid the whole pregnancy and he finally met the baby when she was 2 months old. He was disappointed that he missed the whole experience so when I got pregnant again 3 years later I spilled the beans right away

I called my mom as soon as the test came up positive and then she went out and bought my dad a bib that said " I love my grandpa". She gave it to him later that day. Most of my friends figured it out because I was soo sick with morning sickness. My boss even knew. But it was fun for my mom to tell my dad. Good luck and congrats!!

i told my mom on the phone as she lives a ways away from me. She wasn;t happy at first as I have 3 others, 1 who passed away in 2001. shes thrilled now and everyone else is as well. I always started a baby blog that everyone can look at and keep up with.

I called my mom crying, she was more supportive than I thought she would be.
When I went to my dad's, I just said it really quick "There's no point in tiptoeing around it, so I'll just tell you, I'm pregnant" and I let it set in.
Not that I was too young to have a baby, my dad just wasn't thrilled with who I am with.

My dad does a lot of woodworking. I "told" them by letting him know that I'd need a new piece of furniture like the one he built my nephew. He got it right away, but it took Mom a second to figure out what I was talking about! LOL
