telling family?

I have my first u/s tomorrow at a little past 10 weeks. I'm scared to death to tell my parents that I'm pregnant but I know I have to eventually. Does anyone have any advice on how to tell them without having a mental  breakdown?

Where are you on the daddy situation? Where is he in all of this?

Looks like you've got a tough road ahead of you but many get it done alone. You'll be all right

I'm currently looking for a job. I'm afraid my parents are going to be disappointed in me. My first pregnancy my dad talked me into abortion, my second he was upset he didn't find out until after miscarriage but now idk

Usually it's best to tell immediately family right around now. Tell cousins and friends after 1st trimester due to decreased likely hood of miscarriage.

Your family shouldn't have a mental breakdown and you need to be productive right now if you're in a compromised position (single mom, no job, young, etc) by starting to work towards being the best provider you can be.
