How do you tell your parents your pregnant?

Question

im 14 and pregnant and i need some advice how to tell my parents

Answer 1

Oh sweety, I wish there was an easy way. I have a daughter close to your age, and I don't think there would be a preferable way to hear that.

I got pregnant at 17, and I told my mom over the phone (not recommended!!!).

I think you should tell your mom first. Get her by herself, and tell her you need to talk to her. Just tell her, be honest. She is going to be mad and probably cry, but give her time and just listen without becoming defensive. She is going to say things you don't want to hear, but just let her vent. Don't walk away, let her know you need her more than anything right now. She is your mom and she loves you. Open up to her and talk about this. It might not be as bad as you think. Once she is finished yelling, your going to have to be really grown up about this, and talk about your options.

There is alot for you to think about, and your mom needs to know right away!

Good luck, and remember, your mom wants what is best for you! That is all any mom wants.

Here is a website I found for you. It is a resource site for unplanned teen pregnancy. You have options! You may decide you don't want to keep the baby, and abortion is not the only other option. There are lots of couples who would love to adopt your baby. Being pregnant and becoming a mother means putting the baby first. You have to decide what is best for the baby now.

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

We all make mistakes, some are bigger than others, but that doesn't mean that you can't learn from this and turn into a positive experience. What you decide to do is your choice & don't let anyone tell you any different. I got pregnant at 17 & lost that baby. My mom knew with all 3 of my pregnancies, that I was pregnant even before I told her. So there maybe a chance your mom already knows, if it were me, I would sit my mom down (just the two of us) and tell her flat out, "I'm pregnant." Once you two talk through this, she can be your support when you have to tell your dad. Then you go from there. I hope this helps & I wish you the best, it's a rough road to be so young & be a mother at the same time, but it can make you a stronger & wiser person. Good luck.

Answer 3

When I was 18 and about to start college, I found out I was pregnant. It was the hardest thing, to tell people. Not just my folks, but I had to face my grandparents, too. I was super smart and everyone had these expectations that I'd become a doctor.

I wresled with it for a week or so. I finally just broke down and told them. They were pretty disappointed, but after the initial shock, they were very supportive. My mom loves being Grandma and my dad was there for me from the start. My grandparents came around eventually and my grandma got to spend lots of time babysitting her great-grandson before she died. We became very, very close, too.

My ex left us, and my family was all I had. I was so glad I told them from the beginning, so we could be prepared and things worked out alright.

Eventually, I finished college and have a decent job now. I'm married now and got the privalege of planning a pregnancy. What a difference! My daughter's 10 months old now. Her brother is awesome with her. He's going to be in 2nd grade and has a 3rd grade reading level, and is a math ace.

Keeping him worked for me, but it's not for everyone. I couldn't reconcile myself with God if I'd gotten an abortion. If you need help, there is probably a crisis pregnancy line you can call. It'll be in the phone book. There, people will give you support and encouragement and help you talk to your folks. You might find giving the baby up for adoption to be something you consider. You're too young to work, and you still have high school to finish.

Good luck to you, hon. Don't worry too much. It's not as bad as you think. They are your parents and they do love you.

Answer 4

Before you inform your parents, I would look into a few options so that you are informed and can sound educated when you talk to them. Look into the possibilities of adoption and such and they will at least see that even though you are pregnant at such a young age that you have at least grown already a little bit from the situation. If you sit down and don't have any game plan, it will make you look and probably feel stupid when they start asking questions that you can't answer. Pray about it too. God will hear you and will help you through this difficult time. You may feel all alone, but you can always talk to Him. Good luck with everything and God bless.

Answer 5

Tell your mom to come to your room because you need to talk to her. Ask her to sat down. Then tell her. Say mom I have something that I need to tell you. Then say, mom I'm pregnant. She will then ask how do you know or by whom? Tell her the truth and that way she can work with you. You can not do this alone. Eventually she will find out anyway. This is where girls make their mistake, by keeping it hid. Let your mom know because you will need that love and support. There is no other support better than a mothers' support.

Answer 6

Hun, there is no easy way to tell your parents that you are pregnant. If I were in your shoes I would sit my parents down together, along with my boyfriend and just tell them. At your age your really gonna need their support. So the sooner you tell them the better. Good luck :)

Answer 7

Well, you just sit them down and tell them. Have a friend there for support. My prayers go out to you. But, it doesn't mean your life will have to end. It just got a great deal harder. If you go to church, you could have the minister there with you when you tell them. God be with you and your child.

Answer 8

You mean, how do YOU tell YOUR parents! Uh oh!

Say, mom and dad, I screwed up, literally and I am pregnant!

Answer 9

I would get a second party involved, like another adult you trust. Maybe you have a favorite aunt or relative. That way you will have someone that can act as a neutral party.
Good luck, and don't be scared.

Answer 10

There is no easy way to drop that bomb so just say it. I hate to be so blunt but there is no other way around it. First opportunity you get, in private, just blurt it out. It will be miserable, but at least you will have it over with.
