Well, I'm 22, and I didn't tell my parents until I was 20 weeks pregnant and my parents were not happy. They think I'm too young and Im not married (engaged to be married in October) my mother said everything under the sun to me like "get rid of it" "I hope you miscarry" "give it away" anything that I didn't want to hear she said to me. (This was at thanksgiving) and I went to visit for Christmas and she was supportive and all my parents bought me for christmas was baby stuff.

They might be mad and really disappointed but regardless its their grandchild. I wouldnt wait any longer to tell them though.

I broke down crying when I told my mom cause i'm jobless at the moment but she was very supportive. she just said atleast you waited til after highschool. Just sit them down and tell them there gonna notice sooner or later its best it's not in a hospital room while you're pushing.

I got pregnant with my first baby at the age of 20 and was in the same situation as you, not married and afraid to tell my parents, but one day i got the courage to tell them.because i was stressing too much and i didnt want anything to happen to my baby..they were mad and dissapointed at the beginning, but they got over it and they love their grandchild and now im pregnant with baby number #2.. and im so excited because my son will have a baby sister.. my advice to you is to not be afraid and tell your parents ,you never know what their reaction is going to be until you let them know.. good luck and dont stress :)

I got pregnant a year after I finished high school I was 17 going on 18 & I told my parents right away because I didn't know what to do.
I had a job but left my bf a month before finding out I was pregnant!
U won't  be able to hide it forever, things happen for a reason sure you're young but you're not a teen try to talk to your parents asap!
If it makes you feel better I'm 22 and baby #3 its on his way! Sure it's hard at first because you have no idea how they are gonna take it but I'm pretty sure your family will end up loving your baby too;)
