How do I tell my parents and s/o that Im pregnant? Any ideas?

Question

Im not sure how either of them will take it and Im kind of scared to tell them! Does anyone have any ideas about how I can tell them without them taking the news too hard?

Answer 1

Been there - done that, both as a daughter (almost 30 years ago!) when I had to tell my parents, AND when my daughter told me she was pregnant (but she was in her 20's & was on her own).

What ever you do, don't put off telling them because it will only get harder to face them. You can't keep them from feeling the range of emotions they will experience with this news. Be prepared for an emotional conversation. Be prepared to answser their questions, and I'm sure you have a fair idea of what they will want to know. Give them calm, intelligent answers and above all, be honest about it all. If anger becomes an issue, just deal with it and don't let yourself fall into the trap of yelling back, no matter what....because then nothing is accomplished. This is going to be hard, but you can do it...

I've had this experience and let me tell you it's not fun. I told my parents over the phone because I don't live with them. I figured that would be safer than telling them in person.lol My dad took it really well, he was very understanding. My mother however was a total ***** about it. Even though she got pregnant w me when she was 17 she decided to yell at me. I would advise you to stay calm because it can be very hard. Also have a plan when you talk to them. Parents love to ask you questions while yelling at you. Like how are you going to support it, what the hell were you thinking and things like that. If you stay calm and act mature about it then hopefully they'll be a little more understanding

I was in the same situation, very unexpected pregnancy! I stressed myself out about it too. you need to just tell them, being open about it will show to them that youre an adult and can deal with this maturely. You are the one going through this and eventually they will just have to get over it. Dont let the anticipation of their reaction ruin this moment. Youre going to be a mum and its the best thing ever. I never expected to be and i wouldnt change a thing. No one looks at me and loves me like my son does. This is about You and your baby now and you just have to do it.
I rang my mum, was nervous as hell but once it came out it was out in the open and it was not as bad as i thought.

Answer 5

i was just in the same situation on friday, i know how your feeling. i knew that my parents wouldnt take it well, but what i did was i told my mom first i just said i have something to tell you and then i said im goin to have a baby, she was really shocked and didnt really have to much to say to me that night , then the next day she was really stressin me out with all the questions she asked me, when i told my dad he was real supportive and loving and took it really well, but i was just upfront with them told them i was having a baby and i needed their love and support, my mom is still on my case about everything, so hopefully she chills out soon!! good luck
