I'm 19 and im 3 months pregnant. My parents haven't notice. Im so scared to tell them.. how should I tell them?

I was in your same shoes except 19 going on 20 (i just turned 20). Just finished my first year of college when I found out I was pregnant. Just sit them down and talk to them. You have to be mature about the situation. It's a blessing to bring life into the world.  Yes they're going to be disappointed because they look out for what's in your best interest. At the end of the day they maybe more supportive than you think. It's going to be a difficult and uneasy conversation but do it and you'll be fine. I also had my boyfriend with me to talk to them. Have a plan set out so you will know if they ask what are you going to do. Still go to school get a job and work the hardest you can because it's no longer about and for you but for the child.  I hope everything goes well and good luck.

You are an adult, just tell them. I don't understand why people are so scared to tell there parents. I guess I just had a more understanding mother I could tell her anything. If I would have gotten pregnant when I first started my period I could have easily told her. I feel for all of you who have the fear to share your wonderful news with your families. The only advise I have for you would be to be honest and just tell them. All the women pregnant with girls especially remember that you would want your girls to be able to tell you anything... good luck..

I feel ya I felt the same way altho I am 26 yrs old but am divorced with 2 kids already and living with my parents for the time being.....mom knew it before I even told her..."mothers intuition" according to her and told dad when I was 3mo. Pregnant although it just wasn't me it was also my boyfriend that was by my side and we both gave him the news....dad got happy but then worried cuz of my current situation no job no place of my own but regardless gave me a hug and said everything will be ok and my boyfriend said he was gonna be with me all da way ...so don't worry ur dad might get happy n not mad or disappointed all parents react different....congratulations n good luck

Im at 18 at 37+2 and baby due date is 4 days before my birthday. I tried to hold it in as long as I could but it only lasted a few days. I told my mom dad brothers sis all at the same time and it worked out well for me because they calmed each other down! It was kind of interesting to watch how they reacted they all went from hurt and upset to happy and giggling within 10 min. Things always play out differently in your head. They love you and although it may take some time they will except that this baby is on the way and adore him/her to. Dont wait much longer they will be more upset at the fact that you waited so long to tell them. Plus you are 3 months pregnant and there is lots to be taken care and not enough time to do it!

^ i agree with her it was easier to tell my dad though parents will react kinda upset regardless of how old you are if they feel you aren't established enough but they come around quickly now they are super excited I'm 22

I'm 19 too and was terrified to tell my mam I thought she was going to kill me..lol.. I wrote her a letter 4 A4 pages long but half way down the first page I said I was pregnant and she didn't even read the rest before she lept up and ran upstairs to me, she came into my room and gave me a big hug telling me im going to be fine! She was so caring and understanding about it, we all think our parents are gonna freak out but mostly surprisingly they are the ones who are most supportive, tell them and be honest.. good luck :) xx

Oh and im only 23, this is my first, my dad is 71, and mom is 56 it was aboit time i gave them a grandchild lol but my dad still thought it was too soon.

I would def tell the one person that you know would at least somewhat be ok with it. And would take your side. My parents are very over protective! My dad especially, but I knew my mom would be the one that would take my side, comfort me and then ask questions later. So i told her first, like the second it came up positive. She cried, was happy, and then asked whos it was. My dad was disappointed in me, so was my brother. Really just tell the one that you know would be ok with it and stick up for you when telling the rest of your family

Just tell them . The sooner the better .

Just be honest. They are going to find out eventually, it'd be best if they heard it from you.
