Why wait? They're going to find out if not in a few weeks.......for sure before you give birth. There's nothing to hide.

How are you going to explain your bulging midsection in a few months? You need to tell them so they can help you through it.
Don't pull one of those idiodic stunts where you have it secretly, then dump it in a trashcan, like the women in the news recently. Rather than just dealing with a new child, you would be looking at a lot of time in the gray-bar motel for 12-15 years (maybe parolled by the time your 30). You got pregnant due to lack of protection, your mistake. Live with the consiquences. Have the child. If you don't keep it, at least give the baby a chance to have a happy and healthy life with someone else. Next time, you'll think twice.
Abortion is the chicken-sh*t way out, unless it is the only option due to your health concerns. It was a mistake, don't make another one.

Hannah, as fearful as you may be about telling your parents about your pregnancy, I think you'd be better off telling them as soon as possible. They would eventually find out and would feel and react worse then they would at this point. You are not the first nor the last young lady to become pregnant at this age and they will have to come to grips with this realization. The sooner the better! They are your parents and they will support you after the initial shock. I suggest you tell your mom first since she, as a woman, should be the more understanding of your two parents. I wish you the best of luck with the news, your pregnancy and what you plan to do from this point on.

At least you are 18.
Tell your Moma first. If you still live at home, get her to take you to the health department (clinic) and they will do blood work on ya.
And really help you out.
U need to get in touch with whomever got you pregnant, because he needs to know, he will be required by law to pay child support.
And DNA dont lie, so he cant say he is not the father.
Be calm, and sign up for WIC at the clinic, they will give you vitamins, milk and cereal, cheese checks that will help you have
a beautiful baby. If u have no income, the clinic will be free
and they do thorough sonograms and help you out alot.

Yes you should tell your parents as soon as possible. You need prenatal care and that needs to start right away. You parents raised you and they are not going to stop loving you just because you made a mistake. Take a deep breath and just tell them once it is out in the open you will feel much better. Also you need to start prenatal care for you and the baby asap

Yes you should. They are your parents and love you unconditionally. If you plan to terminate the pregnancy, then maybe it is something you can keep to yourself. But that's up to you. In my opinion, tell them. Sure, they may yell and scream and be upset, but all in all, they will be happy sooner or later,. I have seen plenty of my friends go through this same situation and each and every parent accepted the fact and now have grandchildren running around everywhere! Plus, our parents were almost the same age when they had us! Good luck sweetie!

Oh yes. Have a heart to heart talk with your parents about your pregnancy. Ask them to give you advice what to do. You need their forgiveness and understanding. But do not support the idea to abort your child. If they cannot take your situation, go to a Charity Centre around your vicinity for help.

Why WOULDN'T you tell your parents? YES they will be VERY disappointed...........But they are still your parents. And when the shock and disappointment wears down a tiny bit, then you can all focus on what's best. Now that you're going to be a mother, it isn't all JUST about you anymore. You need to think about what is best for your baby. I suggest adoption.

Most defiantly tell them. They probably would be the ones to help you out. I know my son became a dad at 17, and I stuck by him, and helped him out as much as I could. Of course him an the girl are together, and my grand son is now 12. You will make out fine. Tell them.

Although you may be scared, the best thing is for you to tell you parents as soon as possible. It will be burden lifted whether they are happy or not.
Most importantly see a OB doctor if you haven't already, and get the proper care for your baby, ASAP.
