Pregnant

Ok i just found out i was pregnant. I know im keeping it and im kinda happy my boyfriend wants it too. THank god. Um anyone ever went through this and how did you tell your parents

I've been through it.. I got my mother in law to be to tell my mum while I legged it upstairs lol My mum already knew though by the way I was being sick and then going downstairs and eating breakfast, although she never said anything.. At sixteen it's not going to be an easy situation for your parents to deal with.. I suggest You sit them down and just tell them straight out.. I wish I had with mine instead of going the cowards way lol.. Good luck xx

Well I was about 17 when I fell pregnant with my son and I was soooo scared of telling my folks, for good reason obviously. I hadnt finished school, I was so young and it was an unplanned pregnancy. Basically I just went over to see them one day and told them straight out. Mum burst into tears, Dad wouldn't talk to me for about a fortnight. But eventually they accepted my decision to keep it and sat down and laid out there own rules and guidelines, there own expectations and beliefs. After many discussions at length they decided to join in my and my partners joy at becoming parents. Now they are the most proud grandparents a girl could ask for :o)

Goodluck hun and let us know how you go!

I was 16 and my dad reacted the same way as TPAM my mum was kool with it though, and my dad came round before my daughter was born so was all good :]

I've never been in this situation, but I just wanna say that, I'm glad you're happy about it I can tell by the way you are acting about it that that baby will be loved. CONGRATS!!

God Bless,

I'm not in that situation and wont be until Im married atleast. My mom was pregnant with me at 16 and my grandma said she was disgusted but she was happy that my mom wasnt going to have an abortion. So just tell your mom straight out and grow from there..

Hope the best for you!

^^ not being funny but ya just did sound like an ass by your one sentence :P
Ya know some sixteen year olds can do a better job then some 30 year olds.. ok gonna be straight with the person who started this.. yeah fallin pregnant at 16 is young.. yeah 16 is gonna put ya life on standstill.. doesnt matter what age You are a child is the most rewarding, exciting, worthwhile gift you can ever give yourself.. make the most of it Hun.. Don't ever think You have missed out because You haven't.. when Your child is old enough to look after him/herself you will still be young enough to go out and enjoy yaself.. It's hard work.. but so worth while..

I'd still give the advice to wait til You're so much older, but what's done is done.. enjoy it and make the most of it :]

Hey.. Well thanks everyone.. I am pretty excited. I probably shouldn't be but I am.. I know I will be a good mom.. And what done is done ya know. I can't take it back and I WILL NOT have an abortion. It was my fault I'm not gonna kill my own baby. I am terrified to tell my parents though. I'm not sure when I'm going ot tell them but hopefully it will be soon. Thanks for advice

I was 17 when I got pregnaunt with my oldest son. I took the chicken way out and left the doctor statement hanging on the refrigerator one night while I left for the weekend.

My mom found it and before I had a chance to return home she already calmed down.

I recommend; however, that you tell your parents fae to face and not like I did.

i dont know im kinda scared to do it face to face ya know... Its scary. I know i should be mature and everything about it but its hard.

I know it is hard, but you really do not want to be sitting there 15 years later admitting that you were too afraid to communicate with your parents.

No matter what you decide I am sure that your parents love you very much and only want the best for you. I also think that they want to be there for you and relish the idea that there is open communication between you all.

I know that I always want my children to talk to me about the big issues... I hope and pray that they trust me enough to realize that no matter what I say or do I will always love them and support their decisions, even the decisions that I do not agree with.

Just a thought hun. I am sure that you will handle this in the best way you can. Also remeber that the longer it takes you to tell them the harder it will be and the more pain they will feel thinking that you were to afraid to confide in them.

BTW: I must admit that you are very mature to admit tht it is a mistake you made and not just "something that happened" Best wishes to you dear and please keep us posted.

"Mum burst into tears, Dad wouldn't talk to me for about a fortnight."

read it, she gives good advice. good luck, raise your baby well!

how far into your pregnancy do you start puttin on weight? anyone know?

Allie every pregnancy is different, but its usually after the first trimester (three months) I didnt really start to show till I was about 5 months but other people can show as early as about three months...
In the last two months or so is when you grow rapidly and your tummy drops...well it did for me anyways

Thanks alot. Been a bit worried recently that i'm pregnant and after weighing myself and having put on nearly a stoner, getting a little agitated!

Go to a doctor and get a test if your worried hun, I put on about a kilo the week before and of my period every month, you could just be bloated or retaining fluid for other reasons, best advice is to go and see a medical professional to make sure either way...best of luck

abstinence? anyone?

Well, I wouldn't know about the parents thing. I'm thirteen, heh.

But congratulations! I'm sincerely happy that you're keeping it, and that there doesn't seem to be too many conflicts up ahead. =]

Well, my cousin is going through it and she's 15! But her mom isn't like other moms. She's very laid back and she goes the way life is comming to her. She doesn't sweat over life and just tries to go through what is going to happend. Her daughter just told her that she was late on her period and her mom just simply said, "Do you think you're pregnet?" and she tells her that she thinks so. So they go to the docter and they find out the truth. Well her mom was upset, but at the same time you know releifed about her boyfriend because he's fealthy rich((litteraly)) and that made the situation for baby stuff easy. Main thing though was her mom didn't believe in kicking her out and her mom is happy now. I hope the best for you and good luck. And congradulations on the baby.

God Bless.
