I told my mom I was coming over to visit for alil since we was in town and after I got there we walked in and my bf (father of both my kids) was very blunt and straight up and was like "we're pregnant" lmao . My mom was happy and I was 18 when I got pregnant for my first and 19 when I had him I'm 20 now with my 2nd baby I just had last month and I'll be 21 in October . My parents was happy bout both my pregnancies (:

I told my sister and her husband first. Then my sister went out to dinner with my mom and me. I made my mom tell my dad because I was sooooo freaked out to tell him. But we're all better now. :)

I told my parents and my in laws when I found out at 4 weeks. I was too excited to wait and since this is my first pregnancy I needed advice and a support group. I told my siblings throughout the next few weeks. I'm waiting until the second trimester to tell everyone else.

i put a bun in my moms oven and told her to check in there and she did and she said "its a bun" and asked a bun, where? She replied "in the oven!" Took her a few seconds to get it and then she finally did....it was memorable:) its a fun way to announce ur pregnancy, even to your spouse

With my first I was 17 and terrified to tell me parents. But I told them right away to get it over with. Now with this one, I'm 21 weeks and my parents still don't know.

I just straight up told my parents and sister and her husband. I'm waiting until I'm into my second trimester before I tell the rest of my family, and waiting to know the sex before I tell anyone else.
