Telling fsmily

I'm 17 almost 18 years old. I'm only 12 weeks, but I'm scared about this. My family still doesn't know. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions about how to tell them?

Well you need to go to the DR. Your supposed to start going when your 8 weeks. So I wouldnt wait much longer if you need them to help you go to DR APPTS. Im 20 I was kind of scared too when I found out but I figured they would know eventually so I told my mom first and she was shocked but after a couple days she started getting really excited. My dad too. Now my mom even calls my baby her baby lol. You might be suprised at their reaction. If they are mad at first, give it time it will probably change.

When you're young, it's better to tell them as soon as possible. If you're gonna be a mom, it's time to grow up and get over that fear. You have to prove you are mature enough for this. Keeping it from them because you are scared is going to do the opposite. They are going to second guess every choice you make even more.

You just have to come right out and tell them. There is really no easy way. You definitely need that support. So the sooner the better!

If you're that afraid or worried, wait til you can't wait anymore. Then your belly will tell it for you. If not, find someone in the family you can trust. If they get mad, they get mad. Having a support system is better than nothing. You'll be 18 by the time the baby comes right?
