How do I tell my dad I'm pregnant, he's pretty strict?

Answer 1

Strict of not; he'll find out sooner or later. He will have to have some cooling down time. I hope he isn't a violent person. You just have to say it plain and clear. Good luck on the outcome.

Answer 2

My mother was a very strict Christian growing up and I got pregnant before I was married and at the age of 18. What i did was explain to her that I understood how I would need an excellent job, and how it was going to be difficult. I also explained to her that I knew that I really didn't have a clue on exactly how hard it was. And then I broke the news that she was going to be a grandmother. It worked out for me because she said she already knew. So just be prepared and if you feel more comfortable talking with your mom I would tell her first, she might be able to help you, she has be pregnant before. Good luck.

If you are under age it is going to make things tough for you maybe.. Just be prepaired for that.. If not then try not to worry about it. Either way just be honest with him, and let him know your feeling on the matter.. My dad was pretty strict on my sisters and I growing up, and when my younger sister became pregnant "at the age of 14" she did not tell anybody.. It took almost 8 months for anyone at all to find out, and then it was only because my mom took her to the doctor.. When my dad heard the news he didnt flip out or act at all like anyone was expecting.. Yeah he got angry, but only because she kept it from everyone.. He told her she should have came to him from the beginging and she wouldnt of had to go thru it alone.. Take his advise and let your dad know whats going on.. Talking to him could be the best thing... Just be honest no matter what...

As a person who once had to tell her mom she was pregnant at 16, it is hard to do & I wouldn't do it again. But the best way is to just be honest & like someon else said respect his right to be upset, but he is ur father & he will love u no matter what. I don't know if ur mom is alive or whatever but maybe telling them one at a time would be best but tell ur mom first then tell ur dad, but let her know ur going to tell him. If u were thinking of abortion u wouldnt be worried about telling ur folks. ur worried because u want his support & help in this situation. it is very hard to raise a kid at a young age, but it is possible & it has been done for centuries. Ur not the 1st or the last. Oh & when u tell ur dad be prepared have a plan to talk with him about. Don't go in to the conversation blind & not know what to say when he asks u questions because he will, & be patient with him he is a male.

Answer 5

This depends on how old you are. But I recommend writing a letter. It may seem stupid, but things flow better on paper. You can explain better and express your regret or whatever feelings you have this way. Then he'll be able to cool off a little before approaching you. Remember, parents are gonna be 'disappointed' regardless. Its not that they are angry, its the fact that they wanted you to wait or they dont want you to risk messing up your life. Itll work out though because you need them to help you get through it. I take it your young because you say your dad is strict sooooo its imperative that you let him know about this...after all, he will find out eventually.

Answer 6

Boy, does this bring back memories I had to tell my dad the same thing 6 years ago when I got pregnant with my oldest daughter, I was 18 and my (now) husband and I got married while I was pregnant with my daughter, but it was hard to tell my dad I got pregnant outside of marraige.

Here's what I did; I told my counsilor at school and she had my dad come in and we talked about it, it was hard telling him, but I think the fact that I was practically sobbing helped him realize that I was really sorry that I hadn't waited until I got married to have sex and get pregnant.

Get someone on your side, and have them be there when you tell your dad; good luck! I wish you the best.

Answer 7

PAY ATTENTION. The deed is done. You're pregnant. Now you HAVE to be responsible and tell him. You HAVE to get help on this. Maybe you will have an abortion, maybe not- but this is NOT a light choice. This will affect your life for the rest of your... life...
If you're afraid to go to him first, seek out a school counselor, go to a family planning clinic, etc. But don't make this decision on your own. If you have to ask about how to tell your pop, then you're not ready to make this decision alone. And don't forget to talk with the possible father. You have to be mature on this one. Take care, and good luck.

Answer 8

hey girl, i kind of get what your saying right now, i dont know if im pregnant or not, but is constanly in my mind that i might be..my dad is crazy strict too, but i once had a friend whose dad was beyond strict so she decided to get an abortion, somehow her dad find out, and what he did was cry and told her he could of helped her with the baby, you know maybe he will be upset at first, but i bet he wont be when he;s holding that baby in his arms, hope everything turns out well..good luck

Answer 9

You've got to count on the years of love that you two have stocked up. Ask him if you can talk to him about something serious. Then both of you sit down and tell him in your own way that you're pregnant. And you have to give him his right to be upset. He'll be in shock. Just hang in there, and you will be able to work it out.

Answer 10

Write him a letter and put it out for him to read when you are not home. I've discovered that writing helps position your situation just right, and gives the recipient time to think and cool off before responding. Good luck!
