Suggestions...

Im 20 years old and pregnant with my first baby. Ill be 10 weeks tomorrow. Ive been with my boyfriend for 4 and a half years now and we are nervous but very excited. My mom is going to be the hardest person to tell and I need suggestions on how to tell her. I need to tell her soon because she was planning my 21st birthday in February, we were going to Vegas with my entire family.. I feel that they will be disappointed in me, but I need to get this off my chest.. anybody in my position have any suggestions???

I too am having trouble telling my family. I'm 15 weeks and none in my family knows yet. I just don't want to disappoint them. There's also the issue that I'm white and having a mixed baby but my boyfriend and his family is amazing. I just can't ever get the words to tell mine when I'm visiting them. I'm just lost

I was in the same boat jessica_lynn I never told my mum until the doctors rang her then she rang and said everything and she hung ip on me but called back bout and hour later after the shock sunk in as im only 20 aswel and now single with soon to be my first. I think they will understand as you have been with your partner for a long time. Hope it goes will with telling your family
