Sounds like my predicament 6 years ago. I was 19 years old, had been living on my own for 2 years, but I was petrified to tell my parents that I was pregnant. For one thing, I had not been with the "daddy" for a long time and then all of a sudden I turn up pregnant. I hid it from both parents until I was almost 5 months along. They were furious with me, claimed I had ruined my life and I would never finish college. But, they eventually came around by the time the baby was born. My daughter is 6 now and the "daddy" is my husband (we got married before she was born) and we have 2 other children together. I did finish college too, and now have a great family and career.

If you don't live under his roof and he doesn't support you financially. Then I would say it's easy. Especially if you have a steady boyfriend. About him not wanting grandchildren, has in never that was never his choice to make. I bet he didn't consult with his parents about him being a father or not. Like I said if your not living at home. It's easy just spit it out. Dad I'm going to have a baby.

Your parents must be divorced? Or else I think your mom would have told him.
You have to just tell him verbally, anything else would be selfish and inconsiderate.
Your 18, he's finished raising you and now your going to burden him with another mouth to feed.
I don't think how you tell him is as important you taking care of your own kid.

Your dad is gonna be more upset that you havent told him yet. He is going to be disappointed but if he loves you then he will get over it. TELL HIM QUICK!!!! and in person don't be impersonable with email or phone have the guts to tell him in person.

don't use email. but if you just can't face him, write him a note. he probably will be mad at first, but he loves you and he will love your baby when he/she is born. my dad was furious when i got pregnant at 19 and didn't speak to me for months. but when my daughter was born he totally broke down when he saw her. he loves her SO much and he is no longer mad at me. he will probably always be a little disappointed that i didn't finish going to school and got a good career, bet we've on good terms now. good luck!

hi i was 2 months pregnant but i had an abortion, but that doesnt matter any way. people have different reactions, i was too scared to tell my mum, but one day i just txt her i dont know what made me do it but i did it, it scared me but she understood, people are different, your mum may have told your dad but wont mention it to you until you tell him. but even if he doesnt know he will find out later. but you should tell him sit him him down and talk nicely to him, ask him how he feels about it. but he will be so upset if you didnt tell him. it is hard but it will all be over just talk to him im sure he can handle it.

don't chicken out, tell him this face to face. it is important for him to know you need his support, whether you are happy about this or not. after all, you are carrying a life inside of you, and that is a blessing.

Are your parents together? If they are, do it with the three of you. If not, you need to do it face-to-face either way, just be calm and confident. Good luck.
