I got my dad a card that said thinking of you Grandpa and I stuck the ultrasound photo inside. It was really cute. If you think your parents won't be as happy about it, maybe you should cook them dinner and break it to them there.
This sounds horrible, but I was too scared to tell my mom (my parents are divorced and don't speak) so I kept telling her about my horrible morning sickness until she asked.
With my Grandmother I just showed a paper that had my proof of pregnancy on it. (She yelled at me, and that made me scared to tell my mom.)
Good luck with everything, and congratulations on the pregnancy!

Sometimes the best way to break something like that to parents is to come right out and tell them.
Waiting just makes things worse sometimes. I had my first child at the age of 16 so you can imagine the reaction I got from my Dad. But he very quickly got over that and started buying stuff.

i think your parents will be fine with it they love you bf. But if i were you I would make sure they understand that you plan to go to school (if you plan to) b/c your parents only want whats best for you! and if you b.f. is going to stay with you, and if you plan to get married, let them know. I think telling them as soon as possible will make you feel better.

You are 18 and living with your boyfriend then it should be easy to tell your parents. Surely they don't think there is nothiing going on there. Get a gift bag and baby booties or grandma and grandpa t shirts. they are cute and it sends the message nothing has to be said until after they open it.

Hey, I'm with you...I live w/ my fiance and we are young as well and I'm already 5 months a long and I still havnt told a soul! I don't know how to tell them either. I am going to wait till my brothers baby comes in Oct. cause he is married and 24...plus I don't want to steal their thunder. Just talk to them, I'm sure it will be such a blessing for them...

if you're mature enough to be living with your boyfriend and having sex (unprotected i'm guessing?) then you should be mature enough to tell your parents that you're pregnant. if they know you're living with him they obviously would know there's a chance you could get pregnant so it shouldn't be that big of a shock...although they probably werent expecting that announcement anytime soon.

Just tell them when you're about three to four months pregnant because, well, what else can you do?

Get them grandma/grandpa tee shirts. That will always help. it might be something they are half expecting though since you live with your boyfriend.
