18 and pregnant, how do I tell my parents??

[Babybumplove1]

I have only been with my boyfriend for 6 months. And I just found out that I'm pregnant. Just a couple months ago she was asking if I wanted a baby and I said no I wasn't trying. But now I am. How do I tell my parents without them thinking it was planned. I love my parents more than anything and I really don't want them to be dissapointed in me because my mom got pregnant at my age and didn't want the same to happen to me. Please help...

I found out I was pregnant when I was 19. I ended up telling my sister first. But come to find out my sister was also pregnant (she is 18). She wanted to tell my mom together but I felt it wasn't a good idea being I've been with my boyfriend for almost three years and she has been with hers for less than a year. I ended up going up to my mom and saying "I have to tell you something but you can't be mad" well she was mad at first because she said she had wanted to be a older grandmother(38) but come to find out she talked so much s*** behind my back but in front of everyone else she acts excited. But that's only because she doesn't like my boyfriend. But anyways the point to my story is if they love and care about you they will be happy for you if you are happy. And we'll if they aren't they will come to except it sooner or later. Goodluck girl!

My sister got pregnant at 19 after about 5 months with her boyfriend. She told me first right away as a trial before telling our parents.

She waited a couple of weeks before she told them so that she could get used to the idea first and past the initial shock. It seemed to help her to accept it for herself first,then me as her sister and then our parents. She just called them because we lived 5 hours away and couldn't tell them in person. She just started off saying I have something to tell you and then told then right away. The first reaction is shock and it will seem like disappointment to you but it's just worry for you and not actual disappointment in you. Just assure them that you are ok and even though it's not what you planned, that you are happy.

Trust me, by the time you see your baby at your 20 week ultrasound, your parents will be happy and excited for you. Before you know it, the baby will be 1 year old and no one will even care that it wasn't a planned pregnancy because they will love the baby so much. Congratulations! It really is a blessing to have a baby.

I found out i was pregnabt 2 days before my 18th birthday! I kept it a secret for about 2 weeks until it was confirmed. It was such a big relief when I told my family. I knew they'd be dissappointed but they were going to find out sooner or later. I ended up telling my dad through a text message! He knew it though, lol i need our insurance information for my first doctor appointment. Im now almost 39 weeks with baby number 2.  Its been 5 years and when i told them about this baby they werent suprised. But were suprised we waited 5 years. Were now engaged aNd getting married early next year. We were only dating for about a month when id found out we were pregnant. Never thought we'd be here but we survived!

I was 19 when I found out I was pregnant and My boyfriend and I had only been together for 3 and a half months. I told my younger brother I was pregnant and then he told my mom. She wasn't happy at all when she found out and wanted me to get an abortion. She had her first baby when she was 16.  But I chose to keep my baby and I'm 34 weeks pregnant now and she is so in love with her already. So even if your parents are disappointed at first, if they love you, I'm sure they will end up loving your baby too

I'm 24 and it was just as nerve wracking to tell my mom. I told my sister's first and made them come out to lunch with me so I could tell her.

I know how you feel as I got pregnant nd it wasn't really planned well I wrote it to my mom on paper nd told her but you could sit down with your parents nd tell them as if it's a joke to see what their reaction might be
