if your pregnant how do you tell your parents?

Answer 1

Tell the one you feel will be more understanding first. After they get over the shock then maybe they can help you break it to your other parent. Please tell them soon. If you chose to have your baby then you need medical checkups to insure the health of your baby. If you are thinking of not having your baby then you need to talk to your parents about your choices. They can help YOU make the right choice. Remember it is your choice no one elses.

Answer 2

Plan to tell them when it can be just you and them (and the father if you would like him to be involved), talk to them like an adult, be prepared to give more details than you would like to have to give to your parents. If you are planning on having this baby then you must immediately make the transsition from child to adult yourself. Get focused, be calm and motivated. Write down what you are going to say and rehearse it, they will be so shocked that you'll have an open forum to get it all out before they respond. be prepared to provide reasons behind whatever decision you are making and why you have decided that way. Also, this goes for you mostly. You must research your options and think clearly and realisticly about each of them. This is the most important decision of your entire life, YOU MUST MAKE IT COUNT! See a professional at your local family planning center, they have lots of information. Not to mention the internet. I also wonder how old you are? Remember, if you are not going to keep the child you'll need to go through the procedure with a good, solid person willing to be by your side with no judgement, maybe this could be your mom. And, remember that if anything goes awry afterwards call your parents immediately, they DO love you and want to help you.

Answer 3

You pick a time when everyone is together and not too distracted. If you are happy and ready to be pregnant, you can just blurt it out "Mom, Dad, I'm going to have a baby." If you are a bit scared, confused, worried, you can start a little softer--"Mom, Dad, I need some help." If you feel bad and are looking for alternatives like adoption, you could start with "Mom, Dad, I made a mistake."

There will be shock, fear, crying, shouting, smiling, laughing, sighs, and many other things all within the span of a few minutes. But if there is love between your parents and you, you'll get through it.

Good luck.

I'm only 19, and not married, so when I found out I was pregnant in August, my biggest fear was telling my mom. (My parents are divorced and I don't have regular contact with my dad.) I waited a few days, and decided that no matter how long I waited, I still had to tell her. So I sat down on her bed while she wasn't busy, and I told her I had something I needed to tell her... took a few seconds to gather myself, and I just blurted it out. "I'm pregnant". As soon as I said it, I started crying, and the first thing she said was "well don't cry about it"! I told her my period was late and I took a pregnancy test and she told me to call my OB/GYN and make an appointment... she was MUCH more understanding than I expected, and now she can't WAIT for him to get here!

Answer 5

The best thing that you can do is just come out and tell them. Sit them down when there isn't a bunch of people around and come out and tell them. They can't change it and you all just needs to discuss it. Tell them how you feel but know that no matter what they can't force you into doing what they want if thats not what you want. But hidding it from them will only make things worse between you all.

Answer 6

Depend how old you are I guess. I was married when I got pregnant. If you aren't and you are young...which I am guessing you are. You might want to figure out what you are doing first. Are you keeping this baby? Figure out how you plan to support yourself and this baby...Are you going to stay in school? What about childcare after the baby arrives? Are you looking for help and support from your parents? Figure out what you want to do with you life now, write it down. Ask your parents if you can sit down with them for a meeting. Tell them and lay out your plans. Good luck to you

Answer 7

well it depends on your parents and your situation like with my son i was living on my own and had just found out i was pregnant so with the thought of ending up dead in my mind i asked if i could come over to get the rest of my stuff(my parents were moving into two seperate houses)and then when i got there i said hey lets talk so we sat at the table and i said well i just found out today that i i umum im pregnant my mom blurted out get an abortion and my dad was kinda in shock two weeks later they met my boyfriend and while my mom was all eheh about it my dad was fine now my dad loves being a grandpa and my mom doesnt talk to me.
When i found out i was pregnant with my daughter i hid it from my husband but my dad found out when i my dad said well what do you guys want to eat for supper i said i dont care just not chicken or anything greasy my stomachs been upset lately and my husband made the comment of dont listen to her everything has been making her sick lately he raised his eyebrow and i shrugged my shoulder because i knew he knew and i told him that my husband didnt so keep quiet because i wasnt 100% positve on it yet so those are how i did it and with my mom i asked her if she planned on staying where she was or if she would move back to be closer to her grandkids she said grandkids what the are you pregnant i said yeah she said ok but im not moving

Other ways would be call collect and whenit says to say your name say your pregnant daughter, ask them for something at supper then say oh yeah im pregnant or just find your own way to do it and best wishes

Answer 8

Telling your parents is probably the hardest part of becoming pregnant as a teen. Please keep in mind they can't legally make you get an abortion - now that you are with child, it is your sole responsibility and decision. Being honest with them and apologizing for making a reckless decision is probably the best way to go. If they freak out, kick you out, etc. it's still for the best, you might just want to go stay with a friend for awhile. If you decide to keep the baby, I guarantee they will calm down once you have it - I am the child of a teenage unwed mother who was kicked out of her house, but once I was born, my grandparents softened and enjoyed being grandparents, and rebuilt their relationship with my mother. Ask the father for help if you can.

Answer 9

You don't, when your nine months are up go out into a field and download the unwanted trash there cover it with a little dirt then clean yourself up a bit then go out get laid and knocked up again and keep repeating the cycle. That's one option, the other is to just tell them you like banging your boyfriend and oops you got knocked up.

Answer 10

You just tell them, it's not like you can change the fact that your pregnant.
