Answer 1

wait....so you WANTED to get pregnant....but you forgot to deicde how you would tell your parents?

are u sure ur mature enough to handle a baby?

Answer 2

Wow, that will be hard.  I think before you tell your parents, make sure that you think about how you feel about everything so you will be prepared.  Did you decide what you want to do?  Prepare yourself for their reaction too.  You have to give them some room to freak out.  But when it comes down to the actual conversation, being straightforward would be the best bet.  You want to be as mature as possible about things and let them know that you are mature, but you need their support.  Good luck!

Answer 3

first of all just sit them down and and explain and the situation but let them know that you and your boyfriend are going to do the right thing and step up....any normal parents will be upset and mad at first but give it time and they will warm up to the fact that they have a grandbaby on the way and be thrilled...i wish you and your boyfriend the best...and congratulations on your pregnancy,itll be worth it.

Answer 4

just tell them very gently. am sure they will be happy and supporting u

congrats!

Answer 5

Well to tell u the truth i dont think theres ever a way to tell ur patents ur pregnant....just tell them!!Congratulations!!

You're going to be fine.  Telling your parents is never as big of a deal as you think.  First of all, mom is always the first one-- she will help you cope with your pregnancy the whole way because that's just what moms are for!  Let her know that you need to talk to her about something.  Usually, moms can sense the need to talk before you even open your mouth anyway.  When you sit her down, let her know that you were having symptoms of pregnancy and you decided to take a test.  Since it is positive, let her know that!  Ask her to help you decide on a doctor / midwife.  She would probably recommend her own OB/GYN.  Normally-- your mom would tell your dad in private.  Dads react a little differently-- so let him blow his smoke.  He'll get over it... trust me.  Once the baby is here, he will never remember being upset in the first place.

And one more thing-- no matter what-- this isn't a choice.  This is a life.  Take care of him/her the best way you know how.  Thank you for reaching out for help!

Answer 7

I would say its not going to be easy but you should definately tell them sometime soon! Cuz u are going to need prenatal care and everything. But just sit them down and tell them!! There's no easy or good way to say  it because you are 16. I was 18 when i had my first baby and i was still scared as h**l!! But i had tell them!So i would say jus spit it out!!!

Answer 8

When i told my parents we both sat down with them in my living room so they new we both supported eachother whatever decision we made together & you will look a much better person for that than not telling them & they may find out from some1 else which would be heartbreaking for them.  

Answer 9

You shouldn't be scared to tell your parents.  You should be scared about bigger things like providing for the child.  I mean, seriously, what are they going to do?  Yell at you?  Ground you?  You made what you thought was an adult decision and now you are going to live with for the rest of your life.  I found out that I was pregnant the week after my high school graduation.  Being a teen mother is a difficult thing.  While all of my friends were living it up at college and celebrating their 21st birthdays, I was working, studying, and staying home with my husband and my baby.  I was able to finish college and get a great job, but my case is rare.  I buckled down and worked hard.  I rarely had my parents watch my daughter, even after my husband and I got divorced.  Being a teen mother was the best and hardest thing I have ever done, but you need to think about your baby right now.. not your parents or your boyfriend.  I am happy to have my little girl, but I would advise any young teen to wait.  

Answer 10

there is no good way, just tell them and they hopefully they will help you in your decisions. its too bad you didnt think of the consequences before and used protection

Answer 11

Both of you sit down with each of your parents together. It will be easier with one another's support. Do it soon! It is hard but you will worry less if you just get it out of the way. You have a lot to think about and the both of you need your family's help.

Answer 12

i think you and your boyfriend need to figure out your plans, then sit down together and tell your parents what you plan to do. be honest

Answer 13

well in your previous question you said you were actively trying to get pregnanthttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

  so it's not like this was an accident.  if you were "adult" enough to make the decision to try to get pregnant at 16 then you should just man up and tell them.  maybe you should have thought about that part of it before deciding at 16 to try to get pregnant on purpose.
