I know..thats why I had to comment because I deff felt like you when I was in your position. And Aesthetic88 u are completely right. After I told him he didnt say nearly as much. He just said well its going to be hard this and that, and then that was pretty much it. Dont stress too much! I am sure everything will be good. By the time you will pop, he will be excited, lol. How many weeks are u?

It's best to do it face to face...I was terrified of telling my dad in fear of him being disappointed in me... But my mom told me I had to put my big girl panties on and just tell him...she said if u go to him like a child that's the response u will get but if u go to him like a mature adult then u will get a mature response so I went to him and just came out and told him and he didn't say as nearly as much as I thought he would...good luck to u!

You sound just like me! Lol, I was going to write up a letter to, but my mom was telling me no, so I ended up not doing it. It's weird because I get scared of my dad and have a hard time talking to him about things especially when I was pregnant. I am 21 too, and I have two kids the second child was even harder to tell him, lol.

I was a huge daddys girl as well. He was upset with me but I think he was more upset that I couldn't come to him and tell him face-to-face. My dad was also the last person I told too. I mean its going to be hard, but in the end it will definitely be worth and so you dont have to stress about it anymore. I was 5 months when I told my dad, I definitely wish I could have taken that back. Atleast you are 21 rather than 15-16 years old. I am sure you will be a great mother!

ive told all my family except for him. im a huge daddys girl & the oldest. i have a half sister who is 7. im juss so nervous. & yesterday was the first time hes met my boyfriend,who is the father.

ashlee2218 · Answer

I definitely feel for you! I was 18 when I was pregnant and was so scared to tell my dad. He is the type of person who wants best for his children, and I really thought I would dissapoint him. I did it through a text message, and it was the MOST horrible thing I could have done! If I were you, I would just tell him in person. Sit him down, and just tell him. He maybe upset for a little while, but as soon as your baby comes into this world he will have a complete change of heart. Don't do what I did, just tell him face-to-face, he will definitely appreciate it more! Goodluck to you.

tell people first who you know will be happy so u will have some support if he gets mad. i was scared to tell my dad i made my sister do it but i knew my mom would be happy she said it was her birthday gift because i conceived the weekend of her bday! and if he is mad he will get over it eventually.... my dad tried to get my baby sister to have an abortion but he bought my neice all her diapers for like her 1st 6 months and all kinds of clothes from newborn to 2t before she even had her....
