6 months pregnant and still havn't told parents?

Question

Is that wrong? My parents are going to be upset because I'm not married yet...I just keep waiting and waiting and now I'm more than half way through...how did you tell your parents when in this situation???

Answer 1

At this point, they're going to be more upset that you waited SIX MONTHS to tell them. Their reaction may surprise you. I thought my mother was gong to be upset and she was SO happy. Just tell them like, today. Don't put it off any longer!

Answer 2

Well if you're 6 months that means that you will deliver in December? What a great Christmas surprise!

No no no, I'm just being a smart a**.

Just tell them. Like NOW!! They will be more hurt than anything that you did not trust in them. Parents are parents and they will react basically the same as all parents especially if you're young. Don't you want them to be a part of your baby's life? Why keep it for so long? Don't you feel that need to be nurtured by your Mom? I do. I call her all the time and go over allot more now.

My case is very different. I am 33 and have been trying for about 7-8 years to conceive, so when I told my parents they were beyond happy. My Dad had to give the phone to my Mom because he got too emotional. Yup, that big tough guy turned to mush.

If you have siblings, have one of them be by your side when you tell them. Or tell your Mom first and then soften the blow to your Dad. Either way, you need to tell them soon. Good luck to you.

Answer 3

it is an extremely complicated time, when you consider which you're pregnant. it certainly relies upon on whether in the experience that your modern-day guy has been abusing you or cheating on you, then i might definately say unload HIM! He may be the father of you're unborn newborn; yet while he's abusing you or despite think of what he might do to you and your newborn. Hm... properly... There could has been a clarification so you might break it off at the same time with your ex approximately 2 years in the past. What substitute into the reason? it certainly relies upon, yet to be user-friendly, no you will tell you what to do, that's what you think of is ultimate on your toddler and you. i'm sorry i can not fairly furnish you with the direct answer. good success & ultimate needs to a chuffed and healthful transport. Ohh BTW... Do you have confidence your heart, or purely your strategies?

Answer 4

You need to tell them. My friend waited 4 months, she is not married yet but her Mom was extremely hurt that she was not told from the beginning so that she could have done more to help along the way. Now my friend is a high risk preganncy and her Mom goes to all the appointments but still I suggested she tell her Mom when everyone else was finding out. It is the right thing to do. Give her a card, show her the new room, you can be creative or just come out and tell her.

Answer 5

I was very scared to tell my father when I found out I was pregnant...I wasn't married at the time and I waited a couple of months until I told him....I actually had to write him a letter coz I didn't want to tell him over the phone....when we finally saw each other in person he pulled me to the side, put his arms around me and told me that he was so upset-because of the fact that I was scared to tell him...he said: how could i be upset about you having a baby-a baby is always a blessing, never something to be upset about!
HOW TRUE!!! Your parents may react upset at first and they may not come to terms with it while you are still pregnant...but once they see that little baby that came from their baby, they will love it no matter what...
they may be hurt that it took so long for you to tell them!

Answer 6

Just be honest with them and tell them the truth. It sounds like the whole situation is really eating away at you, and you know that they have to find out eventually anyway, so why not now? Wouldn't you rather it be now than in three months when you have the baby in your arms already? If they don't know and you think they will be upset, let them know that you understand if they are disappointed or hurt, but that you are ready and responsible and that you really value their support during this time. Good luck!

Answer 7

How old are you? If you're typically under twenty, they're going to be PISSED. Especially if you're still living with them and not on your own. But I've never been preggers.

But I would suggest telling them. You're already six months. How are you going to continue hiding a baby in the next three months? "Oh, hi mom, I just had a REALLY big dinner and about 92741 beers." What about after three months? "Oh, hey dad, guess what the stork left on my doorstep?" haha, no.

Just tell them the truth, though it will probably be hard and awkward, especially in front of your dad. But you have to get this over with, unless you decide to up and leave and cut off all contact with them. I don't think you don't want them in your life. If they love you enough, they'll be mad, but they'll love you too much to not want to be in your and the baby's lives.

Come straight out and say it. Good luck.

Answer 8

Even if they are mad now, they will still love you and the baby. You should tell them, they will notice eventually. I wasn't in the same situation... but as a parent I would want to know. The anger would last a short amount of time, the love for a new family member... that lasts forever!

Answer 9

Whew that's a good one...You should tell them as soon as possible. 1st off if you plan on keeping the baby, you want him/her to be as healthy as possible. So tell them, so that you can get on the right track with your health and the baby's health. 2nd of all depending on your age and how you think they are going to take it be prepared for them being upset that you waited so long and keep in mind that you may have to have the support of another family member(s) or close friend(s) in the case that they don't take it positively. After cooling off and the initial shock wears off you can be the judge at that time. Congratulations, take care of yourself and the baby, good luck with talking to your parents.

Answer 10

I also had a very hard time telling my parents. I never really got to tell my mother...My auntie found out and even though she was sworn to secrecy she told my grandmother and my grandmother assumed my mother already knew and there ya go...next thing I know I was getting a phone call along the lines of "so I hear I'm going to be a grandma" She's still adjusting to it...for the same reason...I'm not married. She's a little judgemental at times but after I told her that if she chose to be rude about things that I didn't need the stress on me or the baby and to please not speak with me about it but that as soon as she chose to not be so negative I would be more than happy to share this wonderful period of my life with her. My dad, I wasn't too worried about telling him (my parents are divorced) he knows how responsible I am and that me and my boyfriend of 3 years are doing good and making a life for ourselves but I was still nervous about telling him so my boyfriend had a great idea and on Father's Day we got him a Grandpa card instead of a Father card. But etiher way you need to tell them. They will get over it eventually and once that little bundle of joy is born they will be overwhelmed and wish they had shared more of the experience with you. Good luck and God Bless!

Answer 11

Do you live with them? Just curious. But honestly, the longer you wait the harder it will be. I'm sure whatever you're imagining will happen is far worse then what the reality will be. It won't be THAT bad. Just tell them, get it over with. Then you can start sharing your fears, joys.. about being pregnant with them.

I got pregnant when I was 18. And yes my parents FLIPPED out! But eventually they just dealt with it. What else could they do? Not like they could make me un-pregnant :P Eventually my mother became very supportive of it. Just get it over with. They're going to find out eventually. Good luck to you & your little one :)
