20 years old &afraid to tell my dad I'm pregnant

I'm 20 years old and I've been with my boyfriend since we were sophomores in high school. Me and  my boyfriend live together. I'm 13 weeks along and we still haven't told my dad. I want to tell my dad but he's a bit old fashioned. I've always been daddy's girl being the first child born and I don't want to disappoint him since me and my boyfriend aren't married...how should I go about telling my dad?

My dad was the last person I told but after I told him he actually took it better than I thought. He might be upset when you first tell him but I promise he can't be mad forever your his daughter.

If you two are living together,  I'm sure he at least guessed you two are sexual. Old fashion means getting married before living together.  So that being said, I'm sure he knows you been having sex. So just tell him.
If he gets upset, I'm sure he will get over it before you know it.

It's easiest to just do it and get it over with. No matter what the situation will be the same, and you never know, he might not react too badly. My dad is the same way, and I figured he was going to be super mad about it when I told him, but he actually had like no reaction, and took it way better than expected lol

Hi hun, relax take and take a deep breath. Your bf and yourself should Sit your dad down and talk to him, don't be afraid to speak your mind. This is where your bf should step up and show your dad that he is now your protector and he should believe in you guys. After all it isn't like your 16 years old, explain to him that just because your pregnant doesn't mean yyour still not his baby girl and if you are in school don't let the baby stop you ok keep going and pushing yourself
