Congratulations. Everything else is irrelevant. I hope this helps. Best Regards, M.G.S.

Answer 2

Congratulations on your child. I'm excited for you. (I was worried when I poked the hole in the condom, but excited that you're happy)

But seriously...I am excited for you.

I agree with everyone else. Just tell them. This is your life and they have to learn to let you live it even if they don't like that fact.

I hope it goes smoothly for you.

Don't worry about your family so much. You worry about your position with Jehovah God. That is really what is important herel God and the life of your unborn precious baby.

How does Jehovah feel about unwed mothers and fatherless bastard children? That's what you should be concerned about, not what your family thinks.

The rise in unwed motherhood therefore underscores the wisdom of the Bible’s counsel at Acts 15:29 to ‘abstain from fornication.’ Interestingly, that Bible verse further says: “If you carefully keep yourselves from these things, you will prosper. Good health to you.” True, few youths today heed this good advice. Reports the Alan Guttmacher Institute: “On average, teenagers begin sexual activity at about age 16. It is the exceptional young person who has not had premarital intercourse by age 19.” But what is wrong with being “exceptional” or different? Certainly, the girl who has the courage to say no to premarital sex will not experience the trauma of an unwanted pregnancy. Some, though, feel it is possible to escape the consequences of violating God’s moral standards. Mere knowledge, however, will not prevent a girl from becoming an unwed mother—if she engages in promiscuous sex.

Girls who engage in premarital sex often find themselves tormented by their consciences! The Bible, at Romans 2:14, 15, shows that even non-Christians can be conscience-stricken if they violate moral standards.

Practicing fornication can have an effect even more devastating than pregnancy. It prevents a person from having a clean, acceptable standing before God. “For this is what God wills,” says the Bible, “that you abstain from fornication.”

But there can be hope for those who have become entrapped in immorality. They may turn around and come to God with the repentant attitude of King David, who wrote: “Show me favor, O God, according to your loving-kindness. According to the abundance of your mercies wipe out my transgressions. Thoroughly wash me from my error, and cleanse me even from my sin.” (Psalm 51:1, 2)

Psalms 139: 16
Your eyes saw even the embryo of me,
And in your book all its parts were down in writing,
As regards the days when they were formed
And there was not yet one among them.

Exodus 21: 22
“And in case men should struggle with each other and they really hurt a pregnant woman and her children do come out but no fatal accident occurs, he is to have damages imposed upon him without fail according to what the owner of the woman may lay upon him; and he must give it through the justices".

Psalms 127: 3
Look! Sons are an inheritance from Jehovah;
The fruitage of the belly is a reward.

Psalms 139: 15 - 16
My bones were not hidden from you
When I was made in secret,
When I was woven in the lowest parts of the earth.

Your eyes saw even the embryo of me,
And in your book all its parts were down in writing,
As regards the days when they were formed
And there was not yet one among them.

The Bible makes it clear that abortion is against God’s law. (Exodus 20:13; compare Exodus 21:22, 23; Psalm 139:14-16.) It also teaches that a single mother has a responsibility to provide for her child, in spite of the undesirable circumstances of the child’s conception. (1 Timothy 5:8) In most cases, it is best for the girl to raise the child herself rather than put it up for adoption.

You need to get on your knees and ask Jehovah God what you should do; not your family. Also, Seventh Day Adventists are questionable in their beliefs, so you really need to open your heart to Jehovah and call on his name for help. He will guide you if your heart is in the right place.

Well if you are an adult, you just tell them you are an adult and it is your choice to have a child out of wedlock. Why don't you want to get married?

It's your life and it's your choice. What they think has no effect on that. Congratulations, I hope you have a happy and healthy baby.

Congratulations! Children are a blessing. I hope your child brings you closer to your family, and closer to God.

God Bless.
