Answer 1

If you're not completely sure if you're pregnant, the best thing to do would be to go to the doctor and get yourself checked out. If you are, take time to prepare yourself for the worst. Im sure your dad is a great man and even though you may not share the exact same religious beliefs, i'm sure that if you really open yourself up to him he will completely understand. (sometimes things like this can help tighten the bond between fathers and their daughters). If you're not , I think it would be a good idea to still tell him about what happened. Like I said previously, i'm sure you're dad will understand. Just tell the truth and be yourself. :)     .....and about the guy, you should definately tell him if you are. 1-it's his legal right, and 2-it would be morally wrong to have  a baby and not tell the father and have the baby asking questions all his/hers life. But if you're not pregnant, I wouldn't bother telling him since you guys are not in a relationship; but if you were thinking about forming one, you should tell him. It would be really important for him to know.....and if the subject ever came up in the future, he will have a lot of questions about why you didn't tell him.  I hope I helped :)

Answer 2

Well first dont jump to any conclusion that you are pregnant yet. You did use a condom so chances are slim you are. Just dont worry yet, let time go by if you dont get your period when you are suppose to them take a pregnancy test, follow directions. Then if you are then you are an adult he cant punish you or be mad at you. He might be disappointed for having premarital s*x being a preacher, but he will still love you and forgive you for your mistakes. Just dont have s*x again please until you are with the right person for the right reasons and you know how your family will feel about it. Everyone makes mistakes, no one is perfect, but since you are kinda in the light with your dads position and everything it might make him seem a little off cause he is preaching the word and his daughter is out having s*x, unmarried. So I hope your not but just stay calm, dont tell anyone about it until you get a positive and go to a clinic for them to confirm it. They are free and discrete about everything.

Answer 3

are you sure you are pregnant? I"m a pastor's kid too and this always scared me as well. I wouldn't say anything to anyone until you are completely sure you are pregnant.

If its bothering you this much, is it really worth it??

Answer 4

Well....i would assume that being a preacher...you guys...duh...are religious....isnt that suppose to count for something? Like the baby is a gift from God? Or is that more of a christian thing?

Maybe he will accept your mistake and pray for you?

But if the condom didnt break....dont think your preg.

Answer 5

Perhaps the better question is how will you prevent this from happening in the future.  If you are not mature enough to tell your parents that you might be an unwed mother, you are not old enough to be having s*x.

Answer 6

I wouldn't even worry about it till your period is sue.  You are just feeling guilt as you ahd s*x before marriage, that you were taught different.  You are 230 years old...you are a legal adult, adn what you do is your business.  Get yurself on the pill as well as using condoms.

Answer 7

You are probably paranoid.  I'd take a pregnancy test as soon as you can, (they're cheap, less than $4 for two at Walmart)  but don't say anything until you know for sure.  Good luck...

Answer 8

Don't say anything to him unless you are in fact pregnant.  

Answer 9

well like this:

Hi Dad, I think I may be preg...

Answer 10

Unless the condom broke your just being paranoid!

Answer 11

okkkk. well the good news is that your are 90% NOT pregnant. you are just paranoid because it was your first time. since me and my boyfriend have been together, for the past 19 months i was prergnant in my mind every month. second you used a condom. it is 97-99% effective. third, dont tell your dad anything until you are sooooooooooooooooooooooooo sure. and i dont think you are pregnant. trust me. just relax. since you started to have s*x, get use to that feeling because a lot of girls are always paranoid. even me NOW.

Answer 12

I would say that you are not pregnant and that you are just paranoid.  But if you are I would sit him down and just tell him.  There's not really anything else you can do.  At least you are being responsible about it and not hiding it.
