My parents

[SamHerr]

So I finally told my mom I'm pregnant (I'm 18) and of course she had nothing to say to me, besides scold me etc. I still have to tell my dad but I'm beyond scared and nervous! He can be very unpredictable at times. I asked my mom if she would help me tell my dad, but as of right now (4 days after telling her I'm pregnant) she hasn't said one word about my pregnancy. And honestly she would rather talk to me and joke with me like old times before speaking about my pregnancy. I thought about how I should tell my dad but nothing seems good enough.  Another thing that gets me upset is that my boyfriends parents were so supportive when he told them. As of right now, they're giving me all the help and support. I just wish my parents were the same... I know once this baby is born everyone will fall in love. But still...Any stories or helpful tips anyone has on how to tell my dad, and get my mom to open up? I need to see a doctor right away to make sure everything is okay!

I think u should go to the doctor before you tell your dad and just give your mom some time

I didn't have the chance to tell my mom, she found out by using my phone one day to find hers. I was scared to tell her because she would always let my boyfriend come stay a week or two (because we had a long distance relationship) and she told me constantly if I ever got pregnant she would kick me out on the street and not think twice about it. but to my surprise, when she found out, she didn't kick me out. she balled her eyes out because I'm only 18. I was terrified to tell my dad, he's always been super strict. I didn't get the chance to tell him because while my mom and him were in court my mom told him and then my dad and I had lunch right after. I thought he'd yell at me and basically disown me, but to my surprise, he didn't. he told me that what has happened has happened and all we can do is move forward and give this baby all the love she needs and more. it made me really happy at how supportive he was and my mom, dad, and step mom have been nothing short of the most supportive people ever. they've really helped me through this pregnancy and they're SUPER excited to meet their first grandbaby. my boyfriends family on the other hand, we told his dad and step mom before we told anyone and they were excited from the beginning. no disappointment or anything. (his step mom had a baby at 17 and had no support whatsoever so they wanted to make sure we didn't have to go through the same thing). my boyfriends mom, was pissed at me. she kept saying "do you not know what birth control is" and I just wanted to say "obviously you didn't" because she had my boyfriend when she was 18. but I just ignored her and now she's supportive. sorry this is so long, but moral of the story is, you don't alway get the reaction you think you will. it could be the complete opposite. but just remember, they will all get over their disappointment later and finally accept it. and when they do, it will be the world lifted off your shoulders! good luck with telling your dad, I'm sure it will all go just fine.

When I told my parents I was pregnant it was hard my mom cried and my dad was angry and now they have accepted the idea that I'm going to be a mom. They wanted me to get married before having kids but things didn't turn out like that. My boyfriend's parents on the other hand got mad too but now they're excited that they wil have their first grandchild and they support me a lot especially my boyfriend's mom. Just give your mom some time and tell your dad it's better to just let the news out. Everything will be OK and your parents will soon accept the idea that they will be grandparents.

I'm 21, and just found out I'm pregnant. Very early , only 5 weeks. I still haven't told my mother but my boyfriend has told his family and they're also so supportive.  My mother isn't a huge fan of the father (my boyfriend) . We've been together 2 years and she does not except it. So I'm also having a hard time figuring out how to tell my mother ... I'm scared she'll be upset and try to discourage me and at this point in the pregnancy I don't want to stress it but I also don't want to wait too long to tell her. I feel like I'm breaking her heart. I wish I had some great advise but I'm honestly just taking the advice these wonderful ladies have given you and hopefully wish for the best outcome.

I felt the same with my first child
I felt like my mom was not really that happy but she finally came around and opened up and started to be supportive. My dad was the same way he really didnt have much to say about it

His parents are going to be more supportive then yours. You are the one that has to carry the baby go through delivery and ultimately raise the child if anything were to go wrong in your relationship. They r going to give u a lecture and be hard on you as they should be concerned and worried etc. For you. The being said u need to tell your father and just deal with what happens. I had to tell my milatary father when I was 15 yrs old and it was awful he disowned me for 2 yrs until I kept calling him. Now we have a good relationship and I have had another child and now have one on the way. I hope your dad wasn't like mine but u r pregnant and nothing is going to change that so just get it over with and hope it goes well and then u can stop worrying and start to prepare. He will either be there for you or he won't. He will either act like your mom pretend it isn't happening or he will lecture you. They are not going to say anything u have not thought of for yourself
Just get it over with u will feel better.

I was the complete opposite. I told my dad first. My boyfriend was shaking in his boots but he was a lot okay with it then my mom was. Just be honest. You can't go forever without telling him because your going to end up showing at some point. As long as you have support from one family don't worry to bad

The best thing is just to come clean and be honest. Remember that u r an adult and that it is your life and even if it may be hurtful, he is your dad and should be supportive. It might take a while for them to come around, and u should be patient. But don't wait too long to tell ur dad cuz there could be a chance that he would be even more mad that everyone knew before him. Just take it easy and do whatever ur mind tells u to do. U will be ok♡
