Telling people you're pregnant

[TaraJoanna]

Okaaie so this is my second child, I have a beautiful 1 1/2 year old already. Im 19, work full time & take great care of my child! So please dont go off bashing me cus of my second child on the way & being young. Anywhoo off to my question, so I have not told my dad yet about my second child on the way. Im not sure how he'll take it but im sick of hiding it. Im sure he will be upset but happy. He doesnt like my children's father which is understandable. But everyone else I have told is supportive as well as my mother. I just hope my dad is too I just dont know how to tell him. Any suggestions?  Please no rude comments.

Ok in your same shoes im 22 with an 18 mo daughter expecting me second in July. My family does not like my bf either. But I take excellent care if my child work full time live on my own doing half way decent. But I was terrified to tell my family. I finally did at 14 weeks after hiding it since I was 4 w. Once I did though I was so relieved my parents including my dad was supportive.  I know the feeling of being scared but I suggest you just do it and get it out of the way.I actually texted my parents to tell them and told them to call me when they are ready to talk and be supportive.  I gave them a few days to cool off and it helped because we had a really calm talk. But you know to your parents they will always love and respect you no matter what decisions you make in life

He will be happy at the end of the Day. So just remember if he is upset just think of it like his own morning sickness it only last for a little bit! && my father hates the father of my first child im about to have lol. No one is ever good enough for daddies lil girl. Good Luck

I'd say try to deliver it like it's great news and try not to go into it pessimistically. Sometimes the delivery of news makes a huge difference in the reaction.

You should just do it, no use in waiting if you've told everybody else. ... It's not like it's something you can hide forever. The sooner you tell him the better and the sooner he can get over being mad and start getting excited about it.

Well I had my first son at 20 and my daughter at 21, I' didn't tell my mom I was pregnant with my daughter well I didn't my older sister found out and told her around 16 weeks pregnant. Lol don't worry about what they think or anyone. If you are happy that's all that matters. And if you can handle it, yes you are very young and it is hard at times. I just had my 3rd child 3 weeks ago I'm now 26. Being older now everything is different, but I don't regret having my kids young
