I felt the same way when I found out I was pregnant. My boyfriends family was easy to tell they were all happy about it but I was scared mine would flip and reject me. So I waited until I was about 12 weeks and told them, surprisingly they are being very supportive and helpful. So my advice is you never actually know but if they do get mad I know it'll hurt and be hard but just think of your beautiful little one you're carrying. And just sit down with them and discuss it with them if you can. Best of luck!

Look your grown engaged and seems like you're on the right track. If this is something that you and your fiance wanted together no one else's opinion or thoughts should matter. Be happy for you, your fiance and baby. If they're upset they'll get over it. :)

I was living with my parents unfortunately when i found out I was pregnant, actually i took the test was still sitting in the bathroom and yelled for my mom lol. We both didnt believe it until like 7 test later. My dad was the only person I was deathly afraid of telling. And no surprise he was very very disappointed in me, im 23 years old and this is my first lol. I just sat down with them and told them I was pregnant, of course i heard upsetting comments from my dad, brother and the rest of my family but I just did not care lol. This is my child

I told my mom and dad immediately with each baby. My mom has never really supported me having children and now five years since my first I'm on my fifth pregnancy/ fourth baby. With my first, she made the mistake of asking if I was going to keep it. Easily put, she never asked me that again. You are a grown woman . Don't be afraid to embrace that.

Do you live with them??
If not you can visit and tell them and then go home and forget about it.

If you live there its tougher because you can't just go home to get away :/

do you've a scan pic you can show them??
