Answer 1

You need to bite the bullet on this one as soon as possible. The longer you leave it the worse it will get. Can you get your dad on his own and break the news to him first? I wish you luck because you will need all the support you can get once the baby is born. Do it today!

Answer 2

Have you decided what you want to do about it yet? I think before you tell them you should have a mature, responsible, well-thought-out answer to that question. It will show them that even though you made a childish mistake, you are going to take responsibility for it like an adult, and that you realize the importance of the situation. When you tell them, don't make light of the situation, or joke around about it. Tell them seriously, and expect them to be angry. You did take a class in school about how to avoid this, and you ignored it. That is the one thing that makes parents angriest, is when you know better and you do it anyway. But you can also expect that they will help you through this as long as you do the responsible thing- whatever that happens to be for you as an individual. They love you even when they are angry, unless there's something wrong with them. If they do go completely left and refuse to help you and give you advice, get another adult on your side, whether it's a school councelor, an aunt, or social services, because you are going to need help getting through this. Someone will have to help you get child support, or adoption paperwork or whatever you need. Good luck.

Answer 3

If you were adult enough to have sex. You need to be adult enough to have an honest conversation with them. Your baby needs pre-natal care and you probably do too. Sit down and say it. Your life has already changed and they have probably noticed the changes in your attitude, etc. You have decisions to make to get the support you need to keep this baby healthy. Whether you give him/her up for adoption or not you will need support. Find out how much support you will get from home. Your dad is in the best position to help you come up with a plan. If y ou are not going to get any support at home, its best to know that now. This is your mess. Call the local church and find out who can help you. You dont have to go through this alone. By the way---keep in mind that babies are ALWAYS (always always always) blessings----you have chosen a hard road for yourself---but your baby is a gift from God. Say a prayer. He will make a way.

Answer 4

If your not worried so much about your Dad's reaction, find a way to tell him first, by himself. But girl you are going to have to do it soon. You won't be able to hide it forever.
I sincerely hope the fact that you are hiding it hasn't stopped you getting pre-natal care. You need to look after yourself and the little one inside.
Is the baby's father on the scene? Does he know? If so, can you get him to help, to be with you, while you tell your Dad?
Please take care, you have some major changes coming and it will be easier if you have some family support.

Answer 5

Your best bet is just to sit down with them and tell them you made a mistake and now you are pregnant. Let them know what your intentions are with the baby whether to raise it or to adopt it out. Or maybe if you are more afraid of your step mom then go to your dad first and tell him then let him know that you are afraid of what her reaction might be. You are far enough along now that it is going to be hard to hide so it is best to take care of this soon. Good luck, my prayers go out to you and your family right now...things will probably become a bit stressful at first.

Answer 6

Do you have any Aunt ( your dads side )you're close that you can talk to?Try to tell her first about this so she can find a way to open this issue to your dad.It is only right to let them know about it,so they can plan ahead about it & so are you. Why hide.After this month it will surely pop out & it wil be very obvious that you cant hide it no more.Besides,how can they help you if they dont know anything about it.
Learn from your mistakes,deal with the consiquences, dont run away from it.Prayers will be at help too.

Answer 7

YOU BETTER HURRY UP AND TELL THEM. Because the longer you wait the worse it will become when you tell them. Sit them down and explain the situation. The only way for you to tell them is within yourself. Your just going to forget everything everyone here has told you when you discuss the subject with your parents anyway.

Answer 8

There is no easy way to break the news even more that you’ve waited so long. I would advise you to find an adult you trust preferable a female and ask them to be with you when you break the news. Perhaps you could tell your father first, and then together tell your stepmother, or even have him break the news to her.

Answer 9

Answer 10

It's a little late now, you are already 5 months along, I think it is sad that your parents haven't noticed any changes in you,nothing you can do now but, to tell them. I sure hope that you are able to support that child.
