Teen mom

Just found out I'm pregnant about two weeks ago. I'm so scared to tell my parents. Any advice to how I should tell them I'm 16 btw

Im 17 and i found out i was pregnant in april of this year. Eventhough i live with my boyfriend i was still scared to tell my mom. I sent her a pic of my test in Facebook messenger haha. At first she freaked out but when i told her everything will be fine she calmed down immediately. Im due in a couple weeks and shes so excited. Your best bet would be to go ahead and get it over with. It feels sooo good to get it off your chest, trust me.

I hope your parents will not kick you out...but I know there are parents like that. So if they do then you need to find help in your community. Churches, shelters...tell the dads family too

I got pregnant with my first child at 17. Yes its a scary thing but you definitely need to tell your parents sooner than later. My mom was kinda excited and my dad was flaming mad but once my son was born he switched up. Also please finish school. I was pregnant my whole senior year and it was very hard to get up and go and stay focus cause i was sick the whole but it will benefit you and your baby in the long run. Good luck hun.

I didn't tell my family yet either. Even if they don't understand, the last thing they should do is kick you out. I agree, talk to the more understanding one first. But I don't think you should let anyone else tell em for you or one parent tell the other. People could blow stuff outta proportion.

I was 16 when I got pregnant. My mother punched me in the face, so I left and my boyfriend picked me up. She kinda got over it but it took months! You just gotta suck it up and tell them though cause this is not going to go away. I hope yours react better than mine did. Good luck!

You definitely need to tell them soon. I assume you are on their insurance and will need medical care soon. I would have a plan in place to stay the night at a friend's house if things get to heated.

Im a first time mommy as well.. im only 2 years older than you. in college and also in the radiology program.. i found out the day after my 18th bday in oct i was 4 weeks pregnant.. I was in the same boat youre in. scared as hell... but i told them anyway.. they were mad for a few hours a day at most but then they came round and now at 8 weeks its all they talk about! tell them now, let them be mad and itll all be ok. my gma and gpa told me theyd kick me out if i got pregnant at a youmg age too but now they wake me up with belly rubs and hot chocolate :) itll all be ok babygirl!!

When it comes down to it, your mum and dad love you, and your dad is very unlikely to kick you out. Talk to them babe, they will respect you more in the long run. Just tell them, dont build it up. Good luck honey. X

Have you decided on how you're going to raise your baby? Do you need financial support from them or can you do it by yourself? Is there any doubt in your mind about keeping your child? Make sure you know what you want and need for you and your child before telling them. If you can sit down and show them you've thought it through and have a plan in place they'll be a lot calmer. If you have another close family member that you can trust practice having the conversation with them first. Goodluck!

Parents can help you find a doctor, will help you with vitamins, with questions about normal body functions during this milestone in your life and resources and support groups with other teen mom's! They will nee to know soon, your baby needs a doctor and check ups on their progress and development.  Of you will eventually tell them it's best to just get it over with ASAP for the safety of your baby :) parents are scary but want the best for you in every situation... you just need to go to them and say you have big news... sometimes instead of looking and both at the same time... it's easiest to go to one first then have them help you tell the other. They will be shocked and upset possibly but they will help you and lot.

Good luck!

I don't know how to bring it to there attention should I just come out with it and say I'm pregnant or like sit them down and tell them slowly. Have no clue. My fathers one of those. If you ever got pregnant your being kicked out type of dads and my mom wouldn't understand either

Just tell them as hard as it is you've just got to get it done and out of the way, sooner rather than later as well because it stress's you out once you've told them it feels like a weights been lifted of you!

Best bet is to just come out and tell them... i was terrified but my parents reacted a compleatly different way to what i actualy thought! Good luck!
