nervous

So i am 21 and i am 8 weeks along. When i was about 4 weeks along is when i found out i was expecting. I told my mom right away that i was expecting. And my fiance told his dad right away. Now my step dad and my fiances mother know we are expecting. I have not told my dad yet. I am super nervous to tell him. Any suggestions on how to break the news to my dad?

My stepdad was the hardest to tell. He cried was so upset with me. I didn't even want to tell him. Mind you he's raised me since I was 2 so I'm practically his daughter but eventually he gave in. It was really hard but felt tons better after having that stress off my mind! The sooner the better :)

I am in the exact same boat, I have only told my mum! It doesn't help I am living over here and my whole family lives in Australia. I'm so scared to tell the rest of my family, as they have never met my partner so I know my dad is going to flip out. Sometimes they forget I am 22 and can make my own decisions.

Yes it will be hard at first but it definitely  gets better my dad is a very religious man and to find out I was having a baby out of wedlock killed him but he came around and now he is excited for my daughter who will be the first grandchild he was just happy that I came to him and told him out of respect instead of hearing it from someone else

That is what i was thinking. My fiance is afraid that he is going to try to kill him. And i never told him i am engaged either. Soo yeah. Because he would be upset about that too.

Take him out to lunch. It might be better in a public  place if you expect him to  be mad. And just assure him that you are happy and going to be ok.
