Lately I've been feeling really sick, I've gained a little weight, basically me and my boyfriend had a feeling that I was pregnant. Last night we took a home pregnancy test and it came out positive, I'm excited and scared. We've already told his mom but we since we're so young (17) we decided to tell his step mom & dad in two months 9after we graduate), as for my parents, I don't know how to tell them. My mom was aware we were sexually active, we practiced safe sex, obviously there were consequences still. I know my parents are going to be disappointed, but I don't know what to say, especially to my dad. Help me out, please!?

Tell them as soon as possible. It will hurt them more if you keep it a secret. They will be upset & hurt but will realize there is nothing they can do about the situation. I pray they will be supportive and help you in anyway. I would if it was my child.

it might want to no longer be being pregnant, as you're nevertheless youthful, sessions are nevertheless abnormal, i have had sessions for over 3 years and they nevertheless are not that accepted... i have each now and then had those similar fears, besides the undeniable fact that i have by no potential had a being pregnant try. attempting to describe this, i will trust you once you're saying you've by no potential had sex... going to the most extreme, is there any second in any respect that you do not undergo in options... because it may well be conceivable you've been drugged and raped and do not study about it. that is the purely rational clarification because that is not conceivable to be pregnant with out sex. Take yet another try then see your physician... then talk on your mum and dad yet go away that until eventually eventually very last because you do not opt for to reason unnecessary soreness. if you're pregnant, imagine heavily about abortion, i in my opinion am hostile to it... i trust that each residing ingredient must have a danger in existence... even if you position it up for adoption, i will say no extra about that i wish you'll allow us know what occurs sturdy luck xxx

It may be tough, but you need to come up with a plan. I assume you are keeping it. So, if this is right, are you two getting married? Moving in together? What are your plans for when you have this child? You will need to get some ideas of what is going to happen before you talk to your parents. When you know what you want to do, approach them and tell them you need to talk. Please try and have your boyfriend there, that way you can have the support. I am sure your dad will be really upset, but just know that if this is what you want, he has to stand by your side, even though it may take a while. Please just have a plan. Its your life, do what you feel is right. Stay strong, and good luck!!

The best way to tell your parents is to be honest and straightforward. It will be difficult but you gotta do it. You also need to decide about your future. Do you plan to keep the baby? If so, where do you plan to live and how will you support yourselves? These are questions your parents will probably ask and even if they don't its questions you need to ask yourself.
Having a baby is scary and exciting at the same time. I know I've got 2 wonderful kids.
I wish you and your bf much luck and I'll be praying for you three!!!

The best way to tell someone something bad, is to just suck it up and tell them. Don't beat around the bush, don't put it off, just tell them. The longer you wait the harder it will be. And since you've already told your boyfriend's mom, you better tell your parents, and soon. The last thing you want is for your parents to find out something like this from someone else.

The best thing for you to do is to get your boyfriend and go sit down with your parents and you both tell them together.
I would suggest going to justmommies.com and going to the teen moms and moms to be forum, they are really great there and supportive and know exactly what your going threw.

The only way you can tell them is with honesty. Be straight up with them, yeah they might be disappointed , but all is forgotten when there is a beautiful innocent child in your arms. They'll come around.

Just sit them down and tell them. This is going to be a tough time for you all, but I'm sure they'll be supportive and loving if ever.
