Just tell them now. It's the best thing to do because if you're it's going to be circulating round in your head and stress you out and stress isn't good for the baby. I'm a little older than you I'm 19 years old (20 in december) and I am 19 weeks 3 days pregnant. I told my mum blunt. I walked into her bedroom and just came out about it and surprisingly enough she wasn't disappeared etc and my dad congratulated me and my boyfriend lol! You never know how they're going to react but best to tell them asap

I got pregnant at age 16 and told my parents bluntly.  My dad was furious and my mom disappointed.  However,they appreciated my honesty and supported me through the entire pregnancy.  I am 30 now and my son is 13 whenever we go out people ask me if he's my brother. Its a blessing to have a child young just remmember to not lose focus of your future goals like school. Gluck

Thank you everyone and not the most strict but I can't do anything I want, my mom knows me and my boyfriend are sexually active and put me on birth control. I live with my mom, me and my dad don't really get a long

I didn't get pregnant at 16 but I did at 18 and I can still imagine how you feel. I'm a daddys girl so it was so hard for me to tell him. People think having babies at a young age stops you in your tracks but I can tell you it does for only a second if you let it. People said so many bad things that it pushed me harder to prove them wrong. I finished school and went in to college right away. I am now 24 with twins on the way and with the same guy since I was 16. We own a 2014 Denali and a 2012 chevy truck and we a soon signing off on our newly build home. So TRUST me when I say it will all be ok and your parents may be disappointed at first but they'll come around and will be your #1 support. Goodluck!!! Sorry for a long post

There's only one way to tell your mama hun.  And that's to be straight up.  Your mother is there to help guide you with situations like these. It's probably scary cause you don't know how she will react but she's the only one who can help you figure this out love!
