how to tell my parents?

I'm 18. I'll be 19 in march. I'm really worried about telling my parents that I'm pregnant, I'm already 4 months pregnant. And even though I'm really excited , I'm also sad cause my family isn't The most supportive family, a lot of my family is very judgmental. I don't know what they will say or do. I have a job and I'm going to start college in the summer I also have an incredible boyfriend who has been super supportive and is happy we are having a baby. . We are both scared about what our parents will say,  I want them too see this baby as a blessing not as something bad. How do I go about telling them ?

Thanks for all your comments!
I definitely do regret not telling them sooner . But I don't exactly have the best relationship with my parents. Especially with my mom , she's not the most loving person at times . But I will definitely tell them soon . . And just hope they support me

Im also 18 and I turn 19 on june 1st...I wouldnt wait much longer...I waited until I was 20 weeks and my family was more hurt by the fact that I waited so long to tell them rather than I was pregnant..sure they were sad but a child is a blessing! If they get upset just give them some time to let it sink in....just dont wait much longer....if I could go back and tell them sooner I would have

I understand you.  I just turneed 18, a cheerleader, a senior, & i work... it was hard for me to tell my mom but i just told her last Friday.. it wasnt easy and i had to feel critism from my siblings but a mother wouldnt fail you.. it feels better because you can check if the baby is okay..

Honestly I was 18 when I got pregnant and turned 19 now a few months later. When I told my mom(I was scared out of my mind) she was sho freaking excited lol I swear she's the most excited out of everyone I told. Plus she was way more excited than I our my bf lol so you might surprised. They may be excited to have a new baby runnin around =) good luck.!

You have to tell them! The longer you leave it out the more problem its going to cause. I told my parents at 4 weeks yes they were disappointed but happy that I told them instead of waiting until I'm 4 months along. Your parents might be supportive since your an adult and having a baby. Don't think they will be happy with you keeping that from them.Only makes it worse
