My smiley icons didnt work?????

Well mum hasnt told Dad yet, so far.  I asked her to text me how he reacted when she had told him - still waiting on that.

Just so so glad things went ok - feel so much more confident now and if i didnt tell her i wouldnt like hiding something so important from them.  Think she understood that.

Trying not to blurt it out to everyone but i cant help it !

heya

hope things go ok for you when you do tell them

when i told my parents i was pregnant i was very scared cos i was 19 and using contraception (now just turned 20 and 20 weeks pregnant!) and had only been with my bf for about a year, tho they really liked him. also, because i was coping with depression, we couldn't just tell them and be happy about it because we were discussing whether abortion would be a better option. but we were honest with both my parents and my partners and they were really supportive both when we were discussing our options and when we decided to keep the baby, my dad was a bit shellshocked and took a few weeks to actually start being glad about it but that was it. now i think they're looking forwards to it more than i am! my mum keeps looking at baby stuff and regaling me with stories of when me and my brothers were little!

hello..

 i was terrified to tell my mum i was pregant! i couldnt bring my self to do it soo i didnt for 5 months! i am really tiny framed so i didnt show till i was 7 months but when i told her she cryed with exitment and i couldnt belive i waited so long to tell her coz she was soo supportive! i made my self soo ill with worry an not being able to talk to her about it but i couldnt belive it when she was happy! such a weight of your sholders when u do!  she was a bit shocked that i was 5 months preg she thought i had just found out! :D Im 19 and my boyfriends 21 and my lil girl is 10months now  i had only met my boyfriend then found out i was preg!

tell ur mum it be such a weight of your sholders then you can carry on planning everything with your mums help xx

i told my mum the day i found out. she was upset, but was very supportive. it took 5 weeks for the complete turn around when i got a text sayin her friends were callin her granny and she would be so proud when it finally happens. even though she was upset to start with, i was so relieved i told her straight away, i would have really regreted it if i didnt.

and even if she doesnt react well to start with, the sooner you tell them, the sooner they will come round. my mum is excited now and brought me nearly everything.

suprisingly, it was my nanna that took it really well, which i didnt expect.

let us know how you get on.

Thanks girls for all your stories,  I think being happy when we tell them may work, and if they're not happy we will leave.

Going to wait until atleast next week i think before telling them, dunno i think waiting to tell them and wondering how they will react is worse i suppose.  Its one of those things i guess everyone has to do.  So glad dp will come with me for support!

When we choose a day i will post on here so i can tell you how it all goes!

Hey hun i was scared to tell my rents when i was pregnant (19) but my mum didnt believe me until i showed her the test! She was well chuffed and i had only been with dp for 5 months.

We have now been together 2 and a half years and engaged to be married in 2010, have a 1 year old daughter and i am 24+2 with our second little girl!!!!

My parents were great, but DP dad was a little off but accepted it that we was happy and we have deff proved them wrong.

Off course it is better to have all the rents on your side, but you and your dp can do it all yourself if need be.

Hun if you think it will stress you out maybe wait until 12 weeks??

Give you and your partner time to adjust??

Congratulations! When i had ds1 we had been trying for just over a year but as i was only 19  i was a little worried about telling my parents.

     In the end i decided that if i acted like i had done something wrong then i left myself open to people treating as if i had.

I phoned  my mum and said in my most upbeat, overexcited voice - " hiya mum, i'm on on my way over to see you as i have just got the best news ever and i want you to be the first to know!" Then as soon as i saw her i said " i'm pregnant" with the biggest grin on my face .It worked soo well that we told everyone in the same way and never recieved a negative comment. If your happy then chances are they'll be too. Don't do the typical teen pregnancy anouncement and with any luck you wont get the typical response.

   If people do take it badly then i'd just say that your very happy  with the life choice you've made so ,basically, ner ner ner ner ner lol

goodluck with your pregnancy

On wednesday dp plans to tell his family - they will be ok with it.

Then gotta pluck up some courage to tell mine.  Really hope they will be ok, i hate it when they're disappointed with me. 

ill need all your support girls for the day i do tell them x

Hiya hun,

I am 19 and 26 + 3 days. I was with my partner until his temper became unpredicatable anad decided i would be better off without him in me or my sons life.

I was scared to tell my mum but told my mum at 5 weeks, she didn't talk to me for nearly 5 weeks then she asked me to come over for a chat (i moved out last october and rented a room to be nearer work) she was then very supportive and just said she found it very hard to accept. I am on a low income and work aas a care assistant so my mum has helped me so much. she has paid for everything. i have now moved back home and returning to work to nights and mum is going to have my son through the night.

Mum said to me that she reads about girls having abortions or killing themself and writing notes or telling ppl it is cos they couldn't tell their parents and she said she would rather be supportive as loose me or make me feel like i couldn't keep it.

I am so shocked how my mum has been she has been fantastic and i couldn't of asked for a better mum (also she is very excited now) my grandparents have been brilliant which i though they wouldn't be and that.

I couldn't go through with a abortion and wasn't in the greatest situation to fall pregnant (also i was on the pill) i am on anti deppressants and have been since november, i am single, the biological dad is abusive and i'm on a low income and living at home.

What i'm trying to say is that your parents may suprise you like mine did, as they are fantastic and that yer they may be dissapointed but they only have ur best interest at heart. They will come round in the end if they are a bit off at first.

sorry i have gone on 2 much now.

Good luck, xxxxxxx

I thik im more scared telling my parents than giving birth lol!

Found out im 4 weeks preg yesterday and i will have to tell my parents soon.

Me and dp have been together 3 years nearly, lived together for over 15months.  We have 3 dogs and we were planning to get married in 2010. We are both 19 (dp is nearly 20) Very steady relationship in my eyes.

But i can see when we tell my mum and dad they will be disappointed, mum will probably cry (which will upset me) and i can imagine my grandad will hate my dp and tell me im not welcome round anymore.  I really dont know how they will take it - i want them to be happy for us.  We're happy. 

All my family will go on about how we wont have enough money and we should get rid of the dogs (which we would never do unless we have triplets or more!) and the thought of giving up my babies will really upset me.

I want to tell them early and be adult about it, give them plenty of change to get used to the idea and come round to things

What do i do girls??? so worried

Sarah
