telling my dad

Im 25 years old and 7 weeks pregnant I'm not married, but I have a good man. I already told my mom, but im not quite sure how to get around to telling my dad. I'm not sure if its because I'm afraid of being judged or what. I have a great respect for my dad and I still see him in the same eyes as I was a kid, and I know he still sees me as his baby girl. I have a really big soft spot for him and im already a sensitive person and these hormones don't help lol. I feel like if I'm about to tell him just straight out then I'll burst out in tears before I get any words out. I was pregnant before but I had a miscarriage, but the day before I miscarried I was gonna tell him, but something stopped me. I guess it was best at that time because I wasn't in a good situation. Please help me! :-)

Im 23 not married and was terrified to tell my dad he was the last I told before I mad it public I told him at 13 weeks bc I wanted to tell him in person. He guessed before u could finish my sentence and was happy for me. It made it easier. Goodluck and dont worry too much he will be hhappy or he will come around. :)

It sounds like you have a loving father, im sure the outcome will be ok. Hes going to love his grandbaby especially if its from his little girl:) so just be optimistic and if you cry thats ok. I cried when i told my mom. And i thought the same thing, but she reacted completely diff, she was excited!! So yeah, hope all goes well!
