Mixed babies!?

So I'm 12+5 & have yet to tell my mom/dad. I'm soooo nervous & the fact that I'm Caucasian & he is from guyana makes it even harder. Any of you ladies go thru this? What was there reaction & how did you tell your parents?

My baby will be Caucasian and Jamaican, and my family is just happy that me and baby are healthy as of now. My father wasn't thrilled at first but he's over it considering he loves me unconditionally. If your family is angry then just give it time. There are worse things that you could be giving them news about. Like, hey family,I'm a herorin addict! Mixed people are beautiful. Love is blind and doesn't see color of skin. That's the beautiful thing about our generation ....we have united

That's funny. Im white and my daughters father is from guyana. My mom was very supportive but my dad wanted me to gave an abortion. His family hated me becuz I am white. My daughter is now 6 and had all the love in the world. Not from her father tho cuz he isn't apart of her life. My husband who I've been with since she was 1is who is helping me raise her.

My baby is going to be mixed but my family is very open to mixed marriages and such. They were totally fine with me marrying my husband. I was nervous to tell them, well his family, because I am only 21 and my husband is 20. His sister's already think I am robbing him of his life by being married so young and it was hard to tell them because now he has the responsibility of a child too. We told them and his sister's were upset.  I am 34w4d and one sister is excited about the pregnancy and the other one is starting to come around about it. Either way a baby is on the way and line can stay mad forever when a baby is born, at least not the majority of  people. Most get mad and then get over it. No sense in waiting.

I am Hispanic (mix of Mexican, Spanish and Caucasian) and my husband is black. My family did not meet him until the day of our baby shower (we live far away from any family).  My father is pretty much the only one with a problem but he is not being mean or rude about it. This baby will have enough love from us, as well as everyone else in my humongous family that even if my father never came around, she woudl never notice or miss out on anything. Don't be scared. If they can't handle it or deal with it, so be it. I'm sure that once the baby is born, everything will change. Who can't love a baby?

I was scares to tell my mom as well she didn't know i had got back with the guy but then i had to tell her i was pregnant by him. It took me a month to finally tell her and she was not happy. Even though she was mad and didn't gave nice things to say i still felt relieved i told her even though when i did i kinda just blurted it out.

Bc they didn't even know I was with someone, in the 1st place. Guess it'll be a huge surprise to say the least.

I'm Irish catholic, and the man I married is portugese. My family didn't take it to well, but our daughter is the most adorable, red bedrest blue eyed portugese child you have ever seen. They got over it. Don't worry, your family may be mad but they will cone to their senses
