Im 4 weeks too and your same age. Im still thinking about how to tell them. It wont be easy but im waiting till my chances of miscarriage are lower. Im planning to tell my mother in law first.  My boyfriend doesnt agree but its what i want to do.

I was 17 with my first an 20 with my second.

When I told my mom the first time that I was pregnant she had seen it coming an she also seen it coming when I told her this time. Moms always know. So I would just tell her.

Even if they don't take it great at first a baby is still a blessing either way. Many women can't get pregnant that really want to. Do even though you're young and still a teen consider yourself lucky. Many women would do anything to be in your shoes.

Tell them asap. It could be stressing you thinking about how to tell them or if they will find out. My mom suspected me being pregnant, (I was 16, now 17) and she was upset at first. Now she's excited about it. I was raised in church and I thought my family was going to disown me, but they're all really excited, and some said that they weren't surprised. If you can just sit them down and have a talk with them. Tell them about your plan to take care of the baby to show responsibility. I wish you luck!.

Wait till after 12wks if you can. They say to wait then because there is still a chance of miscarriage. I personally couldn't wait because it was waaaayy too obvious with my morning sickness going on 24/7..

I was 17 with my first child and when I found out I was pregnant I simply told them . They wert as mad as I thought they would be .

I was 19 when I got pregnant with my first child and my mom knew I was pregnant before I did. I promise it'll be better just to sit them down and tell them. They will be disappointed at first, my parents were disappointed and worried but after they got used to it they started buying things for the baby and got really excited. Tell them I promise it'll make you feel better too

Ask if they are in a good mood and then ask them what you would look like with a huge belly lol

I'm 23 and was afraid of disappointing my parents! I told my mom; took her out to dinner with my sister and told her. Then I had her tell my dad because I was so scared! :) best thing is just to tell them. If you have a favorite parent, tell them first. It'll be easier for you.
