I am 15 I am due in two weeks. I got married in March (to the babies father (20)). I didn't get my period for three days and instantly I knew I was pregnant. I told the babies daddy and I was so scared but so more then happy. I had to tell my dad because I needed a pregnancy test. We sat down at the table and the babies dad poured my dad and himself a jack and coke and I said dad we have something to tell you. I ran into my room and peeked around the corner to hear my dad say you better not be pregnant. I didn't tell my mom, she actually told me. I was sitting in taco johns and she texted me asking how my pregnancy was going( we didn't talk several months before that). He has a job and I will be getting one as soon as I have my son.

im 19 and married with a 2 year old and 12 week old. living very financially stable. i was only 16 when i found out i was pregnant with my daughter. it was extremely hard to tell my mom and dad. i started with my mom. she was extremely upset but at the end of it she supported me and helped me thru it. its best to just tell them and get it over with. i was more scared to tell them i was pregnant again at 18 although i was already married. hahaha but again they support me. maybe more so because like i said im very financially stable. have our own place two vehicles and plenty of money to support ourselves. anyone needing advice feel free to msg me

I am 15 going to be 16 in March. My baby is due in July. My boyfriend and I both have jobs that pay decent and we are staying with my grandmother until we can afard to move out. Once we find a place I am getting emancipated so I can legally live with him and the baby on our own. I had told my grandpa a few weeks after we found out I was pregnant my family is not helpful at all and are not supportive but his family is very supportive either way they need to know. Pregnacy has had it's ups and downs but no matter what I wouldn't give this baby up for the world. We find out in 7-8 weeks if its a boy or a girl and we are so excited we already have names down.

I'm 17 and 37 weeks pregnant now I waited to tell my mom until I was about 12weeks for my own personal reasons but I just gave her my confirmation of pregnancy paper she told me she already had an idea that I was pregnant though I got alot of hand me downs and went to alot of agencies that give stuff away for expecting moms I am not ashamed to ask for help because I know my son needs it it is something I had to get over specially since I hate asking people to do anything for me also go apply for WIC now!! The sooner the better you don't want to do it after you have your baby or you'll end up spending money on formula that could be used for diapers and wipes they also give you a breast pump if you want to go that route

Although I am not a teen, I am still a young mom-to-be and was scared for life when I told my parents, and I am 21 and married!! But I do agree that just telling them and getting it out of the way takes a lot of stress off of your shoulders. And if my mom didn't kill me, then you will be fine because my mom is psychotic and this was the last thing she wanted for me, she was already against the fact that I got married young but now she is my #1 supporter. Don't get me wrong she was mad beyond belief at first, the first thing she did was cry and tell me to get an abortion, that I was ruining my life and all this nonsense but about 1-2 weeks down the road she got over it because I stood my ground. I had complete anxiety about it to the point where right before I told her, I was getting ready to pass out and was shaking so much but I told her and felt a lot better.
