I'm 18, pregnant, how do i tell my parents?

Question

So i'm 18. just found out i'm pregnant. and i have to find a way to tell my parents. I'm in a stable relationship, and we're currently trying to buy a house. But my parents are still gunna flip. I've been with my boyfriend for 4 years, and we're both excited. help me out.

Answer 1

say u made a big mistake and to forgive u for disappoint to them

Answer 2

trust me i know exactly how you feel. i am 18 also and i was 18 when i found out i was pregnant. my dad is the type of person who takes things very serious and freaks out before he thinks everything through. your best bet is to just spill it. sit them down and tell them that although it may not have been in your plans that you are pregnant..and if you plan on keeping it tell them that you beleive the mature decision would be for you to keep your child. if your parents are like mine...they may be freaked out at first because they want what is best for you. however over time they will calm down and eventually get excited. =] i really hope this helps.

Answer 3

just tell them. im was in your same position. 19 & in a stable relalionship,

you just have to tell them. my mom isnt happy at all about it and we arent really speaking but im hoping she'll come around soon. my dad is supporting me and my boyfriends parents are both being supportive. as scary as it is you just have to do it.

Answer 4

say " life doesn't always go the way we plan but that's what makes us better people. I have found that i have come to a mountain that i need to conquer I know that I am young and have a fabulous future but right now my life has taken a turn that i was not expecting I am fully responsible for my actions. I am pregnant."

I don't know what your parents will say but don't feed into there anger.

Answer 5

I feel you and your boyfriend should sit them down and talk about it like adults, you may be suprised by their reaction!  Good luck and congrats on the baby!  Mine is 6 months and she is awsome!

Answer 6

well first off, Congratulations!

second, yea your parents will "flip" out at first, and then get over it, you're going to have there grandchild! yes you are young, but you seem like you are so ready. so I would just go in with your boyfriend and his parents too and just tell them both, We are responsible, in love and have good lives and are stable. We are pregnant and couldn't be happier. just let them know you are happy about this pregnancy. Good Luck hon. Let me know how it all goes!

Answer 7

best of all sit them down and tell them. theres no easy way of breaking the news, im 19 and i was terrified to tell my parents, and i live on my own, support myself and ive been out of the house for over a year. the shock may upset them but by the 3rd month usually theyve accepted it.

good luck

Answer 8

Your eighteen?

Why would your parents be mad?

your an adult now.

The best thing for you to do is, you and your boyfriend go talk to your parents and start saying good things and how your ready to be together and how you can handle things and then say Mom, dad

I'm pregnant you don't wanna wait until your stomach gets bigger.

Congrats by the way good luck ;]  

Answer 9

Well if you're looking to buy a house on your own, and you're gonna raise the baby on your own (as in no financial help from your parents) just say, "I'm pregnant, i'm dealing with it myself and I'm happy with it and you should be happy for me"

Congrats on your baby!

Answer 10

There is no easy way for a start so stop racking your brains! put on your mature and sensible head and prove to them how responsible you are going to be and that it may not be the most great news for them to hear but you are very happy and one day you are sure they will come to terms with it. I had my little girl at 23 and mum mum really was not happy, i thought...I'm 23!!! but now she always says... I'm so glad you had a baby cos she is just beautiful! and she is in love with my baby like i never known of any other love before, its very strange! good luck and whatever you do don't lose the head with them if they start criticising..simply keep calm and tell them that you have told them and now its up to them to deal with it how they want to deal with it, (that's if there really angry with you!) x*x

Answer 11

ok check it out i'm 23 and my boyfriend and i were together for about 7 1/2 yrs. we broke up for a yr and a half and then got back together.  two months later we found out we were pregnant and we are so excited to know that it's meant to be.  my mom always knew we would get back together.  she was so excited.  my dad is very protective and had "plans" for me.  i told him that "god had a plan for us" and he came out with "no he doesn't" he went in his room and cried.  i broke down and i cried to my boyfriend.  we made a deal that no matter what people's reactions are we're happy and that's all that matters.  he later came in my room and told me that he was sorry for reacting the way he did.  for three month's we really didn't talk cause he was so disappointed.  we found out some scary news with the pregnancy and i told my mom.  she then told my dad and he was hurt i didn't mention anything to him. i told him no matter what "we're going to do this with his support or without his support and if you want to be a grandpa i suggest you start acting like one"  lets just say he's been there for everything and has even gone to a doc's visit with me.  it's going to be ok just as long as you know what you want.  good luck.

Answer 13

ok well dont ASSUME what they are going to do. im 18, been with my boyfriend for a year (not as long as you) but was living on my own with him and going to college and i got pregnant. it took me SOOO long to tell my mom becuase i was so sure she was going to "kill me". i told her about a week before my 20 week ultrasound becuase we were inviting both of our mothers to the ultrasound to find out the gender. well i took my mom out to dinner becuase i wanted to be in a public place so she didnt scream at me. i just told her and she just started crying she got so excited. not once did she get mad and i could have sworn she was going to kill me. you just need to tell them becuase you cant hide it forever, and you want to be seen as an adult so if you hide it from them they are going to look at you as a child still hiding your behaviors from mommy and daddy.

you need to have a plan. how are you going to pay for everything? where are you going to live? they are going to ask you alot of questions and if you already have everything worked out they have nothing to worry about for you. you just need to make sure you tell them that you are very excited for the baby and hope they are too.
