I told my parents on fathers day. I can not say they have been supportive. Mybparents and my husband do not get along. They feel that cause my husband wants nothing to do with rhem they can not have a relationship with me and my child. We have not spoke for almost 3 weeks. My mum has said she does not want to be at my baby shower and has not shown any enthusiasm or bought anyrhing for my baby. Its heartbreakinf as i am an only child and this is there first grandchild. Luckily mybhusbands damily is really excited and spoiling my little one already. Hes gotten so much clothes and roys from them already its really nice.

get it over with dear! they love you and will get over it! I was afraid to tell my mom with this pregnancy even tho she is my best friend. the first person I told was my 2 year old daughter (other than hubby) in hopes that she would accidentally tell my mom so I didn't have to lol so one day I texted her and said "mom I want you to know before I say this that I am very happy and don't want any negative feedback, IM PREGNANT", I am 20 but I was 19 when I told her and I had my first child at 16 so I was afraid she would be disappointed, but she texted me back and said "YAY!! I want a boy, no a girl, no BOTH!" I was in shock at how well she took it and she has been thrilled from day 1. good luck and I hope your parents take it just as well :)
